I would like to tell you about a teacher named Mrs. Audrey Grodsitsky. She is a teacher at P.S. 128 in Brooklyn. This is the most amazing individual I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. When my son Matthew started school, she was assigned to him as his resource room teacher.
In order to get a full picture of what she really is like, I'll need to tell you a brief history about Matthew. Matthew was a transfer to P.S. 128 from another school. His old school had suggested that I put Matthew in a special-ed school, and that he was learning disabled. He came to 128 without any confidence, he could not read, and wanted to quit school at six years old. That is until he met this incredible angel named Mrs. Grodsitsky!
The love and support, both professionally and emotionally, that she has shown my son over the years, goes beyond any measure of any teacher I have ever encountered. Matthew is currently in the fifth grade, and academically, has soared beyond my wildest imagination. Mrs. Grodsitsky has not only taught my son a foundation for reading and writing skills, but the confidence she has given him is through the roof. There are no words to describe a thank you to someone who started out a stranger, yet has enriched your child's live in ways that are immeasurable. Mrs. Grodsitsky is one of those teacher's that goes that extra mile and just calls it " doing her job." I do not even think she realizes the impact she has had on both Matthew and myself. However, we love her immensely. I will be forever grateful to her. God bless Mrs. Grodsitsky. I knew He blessed us from the day we met her.
