@connectwithgrowth: He Thought His Teacher Was Dead… Until This Happened. Ian Wright often talks about how easy it is for a kid to be written off. As a teenager he struggled with behaviour in school and most adults around him expected very little from him. Then one teacher did something different. Mr. Pigden didn’t see a problem to control, he saw potential that hadn’t been guided yet. He encouraged Wright when almost nobody else did and treated him like someone who could actually become something. Years later during a television interview Wright was suddenly reunited with him and the emotion hit instantly. The tears weren’t about football or fame. They were about the moment someone believed in a kid who didn’t yet believe in himself. One person choosing encouragement over judgment can quietly change the entire direction of a life. #powerofbelief #mentorshipmatters #teachersmatter

Mr Pigden truly believed in Ian Wright. It was due to his guidance to what Ian has deservedly earned. We all need that one person to guide us and make us believe that dreams can come true.

Cette vidéo m’émeut toujours autant ! Le retrait immédiat de sa casquette témoigne d’un tel respect pour cet homme ❤️.
