Feeling that you have an impact.. an amazing feeling!

One of my students was telling me about what he did the day before. How he went with his family to a mall to buy a few things. As they were a driving a truck hit them and his baby sister was hurt. The boy's father got out of the car and was fighting with the truck driver. They were screaming in the middle of the street. The boy told me that when they started getting very upset he got out of the car and told his father and the truck driver that "Ms. Nora said we should not fight. So, both of you apologize, think of 2 different ways that we can solve this and we'll call the police to help us."
His father listened and got in the car.
This made my day yesterday because I felt like the boy actually listens to me, and that somehow I might have impacted him. Maybe in a couple of years when he has a problem he might just not fight and try to think of the possible solutions.
Feeling that you have impacted a person is an amazing feeling…
