An Indiana Student Got A Tattoo Of An Inspiring Note His Teacher Wrote Him For Graduation!

There are some teachers who teach. And then there are special teachers who can change a student’s life. That’s the case for a Ft. Wayne, Indiana teacher named Renee Sigmon. She was surprised recently when one of her students, Chayce McCoy, thanked her for inspiring and helping him by getting a tattoo on his chest of an encouraging note she wrote to him. He shared with news station WPTA that in school, he had no passion, didn’t think he would go to college or even graduate. But he was blessed with his ‘school mom’, Ms. Sigmon who changed everything. Here’s the report from WPTA:

And here’s the Tik Tok video Chayce shared online that went viral:

I was fortunate enough to have a few teachers who did the same for me. Mrs. Sheets, Mr. Wiggum and Ms. Waan. They were very encouraging to me, especially during some tough times in school. I’ll never forget them. To those who considering going into the education field, keep in mind the huge impact you can make on your students.
