sprout.

to begin to grow; 

shoot forth, as a plant from a seed.

Youth. 

We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.

 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today, a nine year old girl tapped me on the leg to say,

"I'm so glad you are my teacher."

And it happened

My heart grew

Usually...I hate that

But today I really really liked it

PS: I am super glad I am Megan's teacher too
