Omg I would have given anything to have a space like that to learn in high school! It's awesome your school allows that kind of unique space. Just imagine if all schools were so inviting, I'm sure we'd probably see a lot more enthusiasm in children to be in school with such a beautiful environment. So sorry to hear what you and the kids had to go through, they are lucky to have such a strong teacher who cares about them. Best wishes with the new school year!
The Makeover Mom so true 😩😍😍😍 my school doesn’t even have a ceiling... there are just pipes and cables hanging everywhere... besides my school would never allow to store so much stuff inside the classroom due to safety reasons (in case of a fire). Additionally where I come from teachers switch rooms and students switch rooms so it wouldn’t be possible in the first place. :(( so sad ...I think it’s just so much easier to learn in an environment you feel comfortable in.
Seriously!! The reason I clicked was because I thought this would be like a home school type of situation. It’s crazy that they allowed that !! It’s such an inspiring space ❤️it’s really sad that probably 99% of students don’t get this privilege/:
Honestly, so many teachers don’t realize how much a good environment helps kids learn instead of a prison cell looking room that gives kids anxiety and makes them uncomfortable
Unfortunately it's very expensive :/ My walls and ceiling are atrocious but I can't afford to fix it and when it comes to district I will have to take down my hours of hard work at a moments notice because lord knows the summer is for huge repairs and little stuff doesn't always happen. This year I'm just hoping no more of my chairs break from kids leaning in them 😅
Olivia Woods no I think the teachers understand. They just can’t afford to have their room decorated and they done choose to have 30+ student classes. This comment is really sad
Olivia, a lot of teachers do realize that, and try to make their classroom a better environment for learning. But, teachers are such an important and influential part of society, and they aren't paid nearly enough! They also aren't given very much money to spend on school supplies and their classroom. My sister is a teacher and she usually has to spend her own money on stuff for her classroom.
Well shit....I am ugly crying. I just discovered your channel tonight. Your room is beautiful and you have such a beautiful soul. This world is a pretty scary place and more students need teachers like you in their lives
I watched this before knowing that you're at Stoneman Douglas, and still bawled my eyes out. I just learned what school this is at and I don't think I can watch it again with this context because I think I'll cry too hard. You are amazing.
Leah Olivia um just look up the name of the school and hundreds of articles will pop up. You look like a student so I’m surprised you wouldn’t know? I go to college and all my teachers talked about it.
Brianna Arnau You can let her know what happened and still be nice. What happened was a tragedy and should be discussed sensitively not in a “um are you serious how do you not know” kind of way
i have no idea why this came up in my recommended but my heart is so happy that it did. it is so rare to see a teacher whose heart and soul is so dedicated for their students, you are refreshing and beautiful. the makeover is gorgeous and pleaseplease vlog the students reactions if you can 😍 if i had a teacher like you and a space like that to go to to learn, high school would have been such a more beautiful experience 💛
Wow...if only all teachers could be like you. Your attitude, your enthusiasm, your genuine care and concern for your student's well being, both mentally and physically...just everything. You're proof that there are people who are meant to teach. They inspire. They motivate. They guide. But most of all...they care.
Well, I’m crying... again... Seeing how your job as a teacher is such a huge part of who you are is proof that you have found your calling. Your kiddos are lucky to have you. ❤️
A C lol if that’s true Preschool teachers should be 12. It’s cause we aren’t burnt out yet (so ppl say). I’m 22 and high schoolers aren’t for me :-) She’s just a lovely person~
A C I think you didn’t get mine. Being younger doesn’t mean you’ll understand HS more. I’m sure there are 40 year olds who understand them more than me.
Nessa it definitely does, you’ll be more likely to understand their social culture. Especially in a generation where technology is constantly changing and it is more common for the young to adapt to. And it helps a lot of students feel more understood as well. I’m not saying every young person will understand high schoolers, but it definitely helps for some young teacher. It doesn’t take away from her having a great personality. You can disagree, we’ve had different experiences with professors and teachers.
I can’t even imagine the anxiety of those students going back into that school. Thank you for caring so much and helping create a safe place for them 💛
You and your students are SO deserving of this space. I couldn't be any more happy for you and what an amazing job Brittany and her team did with your classroom. Watching you react to the classroom reveal really pulled at my heartstrings and I was right there crying with you. Big hugs to you and I wish you and your students a wonderful first day of school and an amazing year!
You have completely inspired me to teach better. To live for my students and their comfort and happiness. I came into my classroom this morning with a new outlook and a new zeal for what I do! I cannot thank you enough.
Hey! I just wanted to let you know a couple things. 1. you are an awesome teacher and it’s wonderful to see someone with such passion for their job 2. I live in florida and when the tragedy happened I began to make shirts that say “remember the 17” to sell them at my school. I ended up being able to donate all of the proceeds to Stoneman Douglas. 3. I have 3-4 extra shirts and if you wanted them I would be more than happy to give you them! I sold so many to my school that I ran myself out of business
Why did I start crying??!! I lived in and was a teacher in FL (Sarasota) when the unthinkable happened. They deserve this and so much more! Go change the world 💝
I really wish there were more teachers like you. I have been so unmotivated and resenting school because I’ve had a rough time with my teachers. They weren’t understanding at all about my mental health and other struggles and my overall well being despite explaining to them what i was going through. Please continue to share your journey to inspire other teachers to be just as caring and loving. That’s what this world needs, that’s how this world will be healed. Through love.
I just discovered your channel, and I cannot thank you enough for being THAT teacher. I was homeschooled from year 8 (13 years old) onwards because I'm autistic, and the way my mind and body worked was seen as wrong, and bad, and unwanted in the schooling system. I was so misunderstood by teachers that the bullying (from them) resulted in me nearly dying three times. If the world had more teachers like you, so many kids who feel so unsafe and unloved and unWANTED would actually have an opportunity. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I feel like my math teacher watches your channel. 😂 My math teacher’s room is so similar to yours! Her classroom is very comfy and on the first day she welcomed us as if it was home!
I’m so happy you are doing this. I recently saw that they upgraded every security thing they could but people still aren’t happy. There is nothing else you guys can do but you can’t blame them because them, and you, are traumatized! Such a strong girl, good job to you and the staff at the school on trying your very best to make the students feel safe
Hey. I know it’s still a sensitive subject and definitely wouldn’t want you to make this video until you’re comfortable, but could you make a video on your experience w the shooting or like what you think teachers should know in order to be more prepared for a situation like that? I totally understand if you can’t/ don’t want to, but I just feel like it could be beneficial.
Christie Jensen she’s a teacher at the high school that the Douglas shooting happened at :( so she got a classroom makeover bc she lost her old classroom but yeah that’s the gist
Emma Wurst she posted one on July 19th , I know you posted this 1 year ago but thought I’d share if you hadn’t seen it yet.. th-cam.com/video/c3bVC38Kvoc/w-d-xo.html
Oh, my goodness. Your classroom is so beautiful. Couldn’t think of a teacher more deserving of this makeover. I hope you and your students have a wonderful school year! xoxo
I wish my teacher was like her, she seems so kind and genuine and actually seems to care n love her job not like other teachers where they just go to class teach and leave she actually wants her students to grow such a kind soul. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾
"I've probably cried, ten times" SAME SISTER. You and your students are so deserving of this - can't wait to see you change more lives in this room Brittany💛
wow, i am in tears. this was so amazing! you deserve this so much. thank you for being so open with your experience amidst a very tragic time. your students will feel so safe and cozy in this room! congratulations!
I am in my last year of school and starting my student teaching. I could not imagine going through what you went through and I love that you remain so positive and passionate about life, your school, your career, and most importantly your students. I am so glad and grateful I found your channel. Much love from a fellow teacher 🤓
You are such a dream! Strong, beautiful, passionate, emotional, driven, and caring... You and your students deserve this classroom more than anything. Thank you for choosing to be the teacher that makes a real difference.
I was crying with you you are such amazing teacher you deserve all of that your are amazing your always happy after everything that’s happened to you are the most happiest teacher ever. xx
Sending love to you at MSD in Florida. There are no words to explain what you all went through the beginning of this year and how helpless the rest of the world felt while watching it on the news. May this year be a year of recovery and love. And may your classroom always serve as a safe haven for your students.
I cried this whole video! I'm so happy for you and your students! This classroom is stunning and definitely well deserved! I pray that y'all have peace and learn to feel safe at school again. I wish you the best of luck in this school year and all the years to come. Much love ❤
i was watching your videos and didn't know you were a teacher at msd. watching them back with the knowledge that you are, makes these videos even more amazing. i'm bawling my eyes out because i have never seen a teacher so dedicated to her students and making them feel safe and comfortable. you're amazing. i love this so much.
I cried my eyes out watching this video!!! It is so amazing to know there are teachers like you. I love how enthusiastic you are about your students and how much you care for them
For some reason I feel the need to THANK YOU for loving you’re job and being what u wanted to be the love that u have for ur job does make a difference on how u work . I just hope that one day I become just like in achieving my goals and then loving my job and being exited for it each & everyday
You are truly inspiring! I’m so happy and excited for your students. Before 9th grade I’ve always been horrible at English and I would always get horrible grades on my essays, but somehow my 9th grade English teacher was able to reach me and teach me in a way that I understood. Now I truly love writing and have gotten A’s on all of my essays in high school. I can tell that you will do the same for your students
Wow! Your classroom is gorgeous! I hope the high schoolers don't mess it up. Thank you for showing us. I love it! I hope you have a successful year! Sincerely, Silvia (MSD Class of 99 & Currently a Science teacher)
I discovered your channel today and wow you are absolutely amazing! I’m currently working on my masters for school counseling and I’m gonna strive to be like you. One day when I’m finally working at a school I hope my office to be a safe and welcoming place to all my students.💗
I know this may sound bad or weird to some but i’ve always wanted to become a teacher. Since I was a little girl I used to play school and just teach all of my stuffed animals as if they were my students. With that being said, living in this society makes me scared to fur fill that dream. Tragedies like this scare me and I honestly don’t know how i’d react in that situation due to my extreme anxiety and to have to protect all of those students makes that even more intense for me. Seeing these videos helps so much but that’s just been a little concern for that and I can’t thank you enough for that. Your such an incredible and brave person which is so inspiring to me.
I just came across this video & I loveeee that you try to have close relationships with your students and have been able to make a classroom feel more comfortable for your students. It’s people like you that make a difference in this world ! Definitely subscribing :)
This is amazing. I came across your channel randomly but I'm so glad I did. I'm truly sorry for the pain you and your school felt and it's amazing to see the positivity from you! I subscribed so fast! You are truly a ray of sunshine, just watching your videos make me feel happier! I wish I could have a teacher like you that cares so much. Keep doing what you're doing because good teachers can truly change lives of students. Can't wait to see more videos!!!
You have the most beautiful classroom I have ever seen!!! I cried a little watching this, because you are such a sweet person and I was so happy for you when you saw your classroom. I bet all of your students love you so much. You are going to do great things being a teacher 💛💛💛🌻🌼
Your classroom is UNBELIEVABLE! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I just started watching and I can’t get over the positivity radiating from you, your a ball of sunshine 🌞! My heart goes out to each and every one of you. I pray God watches over you all and keeps y’all in his hands. You will literally change lives. ALSO your classroom is my aesthetic💛
I wish all classrooms could be this inviting. Make us want to go to school and comfortable here. I wish teachers had to qualify to be as nice as you because I remember last year the second I stepped into my history class I had so much anxiety and I would go home and cry.
This is incredible. Thank you for being so strong and making your classroom a safe space. I’m sure it will make a difference in the lives of your students!
Allie Babydoll Yes. Unfortunately. A former student at that school, Stoneman Douglas located in Florida, shot up the school. Killing 14 students and faculty members. He went into the freshmen building. They released a video from his cell phone of his plans to be the next mass shooter. It was heartbreaking. :(
Ahhh! I’m a high school student and I would definitely feel more at home if we had learning environments like this at school. You seem like an AMAZING teacher and I wish I had you. You seem like you care a lot about your students which is a nice change from a lot of teachers. You’re so fun and energetic!! And your room feels so homey just watching it over TH-cam!! I hope you have a good rest of the semester! ❤️
WOW...i would enjoy coming to school everyday , you seem like a teacher that is really all about her students..coming from me a high school student i find it harder to learn and enjoy a class if the teacher isn't so warming and welcoming.. i would feel so comfortable in that class .. i give you soooooo much respect for what you do this is truly heartwarming .
Needless to say, you are an amazing teacher. My heart goes out to this school to feel safe, we had our own shooting 5 months ago. I hope your students feel safe
This popped up in my recommended and I couldn’t believe the caption and thumbnail. I would do anything to have a classroom like this in high school where I could feel safe and not worried❤️ I loved this and I’m so sorry what you had to go through. This room is a dream and I really hope you and your students enjoy every moment in it❤️
this is literally my first time viewing you and i’m crying. i’ve always had a dream of being a teacher but i thought i’d never get there.. now that i’ve seen this, you’ve motivated me so much in just 10 minutes and i already love you. your soul is so sweet. ❤️ thank you ❤️
What a gorgeous room and an incredible reminder of joy... praying for your school year. You're clearly so passionate about your students and their safety and passion for learning. So inspired!
I wish we had more teachers like you. Then we might be more enthusiastic about learning. I’m so sorry that this happened at your school, it shouldn’t happen anywhere
Just found you tonight! Couldn’t wait to subscribe!! Your personality and content already hooked me but then to find you and your school had to go through such tragedy and you are still smiling and encouraging so many people!! One woman to another I’m just proud of you!! ♥️👏🏻 Have the best school year ever!!
this is what classrooms should look like and what teachers should be like. kids are scared to go to school because of all this stuff that has happened and on top of that it gives us so much anxiety to go to a place 5 days a week for 8 hours and learn all this stuff then go home and spend 4 hours on homework, it can just all feel like too much. if all teachers were like you, i know that we wouldn’t feel that way just because of your spirit and kindness. love you for that.
i really wish i could have had the opportunity to have you as a teacher. you have such an amazing, genuine, and caring nature about you and i can really tell that you love what you do. it makes me happy to know there are people out there who are so passionate about their career!
Balled like a baby right along with you during your reaction to your new classroom. It’s so beautiful and probably the coziest classroom I’ve ever seen.
This is the most amazing classroom I've ever seen! And it's even cooler that it's English which is my favorite subject! And such a creative environment to write and learn in. You are so full of life I wish to only find a passion one day as strong as yours with teaching. You need to be on Ellen, and help others transform children's lives and classrooms. Good luck this year!
I love you soooo much!!! Seeing you come into theatre last year and hangout with all of us and coming to coffee house and just having fun with all of us are the things I'm going to miss now that I'm an official Douglas alumni. Your room looks amazing and this video brought me to tears especially since we are all restarting since everything happened. You are such an amazing teacher and person!!
I wish this kind of things were more common... Where I live most teachers don't even have their own room and almost all of the classrooms are the same except for some space differences and things, it would be really good to have this space to study and work in. You're really so inspiring!!
This is such a beautiful classroom!!! It looks so homey and a great environment for kids to learn comfortably and safely. Which is SO important. Kids fee scared to go to school due to all the shootings lately so I love that you’re making them feel just a bit safer in your classroom environment
Your classroom is absolutely beautiful, inviting, and safe for your students! 😀 You are going to continue to change the lives of your students! 😀 May God continue to bless you and keep you! 😀
What a amazing beautiful classroom, i think this needs to be done to all classroom in USA this will motivate the students my Daughter classroom is falling apart and unfortunately there is no buget to do any repairs . i lovet it enjoy have have a wonderful New Year
We need more teachers like you. I still remember my 7th grade teacher that made me love history, I hate history normally. Loved your raw reaction so sweeeeet
Hello! I just found your TH-cam and I really wanted to share my story with you and let you know that you’ve completely changed my life! I found out two days ago that I don’t have enough money to cover tuition to my dream college by only $4,000, forcing me to stay at home and go to a local, regional college. I have been questioning my life choices terribly since then as I was going into this college undecided. I came across this video in particular and I realized I have been denying for almost two years now that my true passion and calling is to be a teacher! Thank you for helping me pick up the pieces and get on with my education and career!! You are an amazing teacher and an even greater human 💛
I just started watching you!!! I don't really comment but your such an amazing teacher and I admire how much you love your students!!! Keep being a beautiful soul !!! I love what your doing
i love you. i am a 8th grade student from Arizona and i have wanted to be a teacher since i was in kinder. i follow you and your journey because it inspires me for who i want to be daily and who i want to become! stand strong girlfriend and be yourself. i have no words for how grateful i am to follow your journey and that i get to have you as an influence to my life and my future career. T H A N K. Y O U. from the bottom of my heart.
I love love loved this vlog. I got teary eyed. I would like to know more about the background story. I'm proud of you for being able to move forward with your students. Love you!
SHE NEEDS TO BE ON ELLEN. How she is making the students feel comfortable to be back where a tragedy took place. You are awesome!!❤️
Kellyn Koenigs I AGREE
Wait I’m confused what happened
Brittany is a teacher at the Stoneman Douglas.
Teresa L really?? I didn’t know
Send the video to Ellen!!! If you go to Ellentube you can!!!
we need more teachers like you. if I came into every class where I feel comfortable, I would be so much more happy and productive.

What happens to the school?
Alizelli C there was a school shooting x :(
Honestly, so many teachers don’t realize how much a good environment helps kids learn instead of a prison cell looking room that gives kids anxiety and makes them uncomfortable
Olivia Woods tax money honey
Unfortunately it's very expensive :/ My walls and ceiling are atrocious but I can't afford to fix it and when it comes to district I will have to take down my hours of hard work at a moments notice because lord knows the summer is for huge repairs and little stuff doesn't always happen.

Well, some kids in the world don't even have schools to go to. This is so much luxury. I think it's too much...
Olivia Woods no I think the teachers understand. They just can’t afford to have their room decorated and they done choose to have 30+ student classes. This comment is really sad

Leah Olivia,
There was a shooting at her school.
Leah Olivia um just look up the name of the school and hundreds of articles will pop up. You look like a student so I’m surprised you wouldn’t know? I go to college and all my teachers talked about it.
If you watch any of her videos you can tell she's not American so it makes sense that she might not know about the parkland shooting
Brianna Arnau You can let her know what happened and still be nice. What happened was a tragedy and should be discussed sensitively not in a “um are you serious how do you not know” kind of way
Nooo way she’s at stoneman...
i feel like you’d also make a great counselor or therapist you give me that positive caring vibe very nice
i have no idea why this came up in my recommended but my heart is so happy that it did. it is so rare to see a teacher whose heart and soul is so dedicated for their students, you are refreshing and beautiful. the makeover is gorgeous and pleaseplease vlog the students reactions if you can 😍 if i had a teacher like you and a space like that to go to to learn, high school would have been such a more beautiful experience 💛

ELLEN !!!!! SHE NEEDS TO BE ON ELLEN 😭 my heart she is such a genuine soul ❤️
It doesn’t even look like a classroom! I want my bedroom to look like that lol
Caroline Schwartz ikr!
Well, I’m crying... again... Seeing how your job as a teacher is such a huge part of who you are is proof that you have found your calling. Your kiddos are lucky to have you. ❤️
is it just me or is every english teacher in their mid 20s-30s the favorite teacher
Yes because they are more likely to understand and connect with younger students
A C lol if that’s true Preschool teachers should be 12. It’s cause we aren’t burnt out yet (so ppl say). I’m 22 and high schoolers aren’t for me :-)
She’s just a lovely person~
Nessa I think you missed my point entirely. Your logic doesn’t even relate to my comment.
A C I think you didn’t get mine. Being younger doesn’t mean you’ll understand HS more. I’m sure there are 40 year olds who understand them more than me.
Nessa it definitely does, you’ll be more likely to understand their social culture. Especially in a generation where technology is constantly changing and it is more common for the young to adapt to. And it helps a lot of students feel more understood as well. I’m not saying every young person will understand high schoolers, but it definitely helps for some young teacher.

I can’t even imagine the anxiety of those students going back into that school. Thank you for caring so much and helping create a safe place for them 💛
This is no where near what my 9th grade English classroom looked like! So cool!
Jacque S lmao yess! My class was in a trailer.
You and your students are SO deserving of this space. I couldn't be any more happy for you and what an amazing job Brittany and her team did with your classroom. Watching you react to the classroom reveal really pulled at my heartstrings and I was right there crying with you. Big hugs to you and I wish you and your students a wonderful first day of school and an amazing year!
the world needs more humans like you.
You have completely inspired me to teach better. To live for my students and their comfort and happiness. I came into my classroom this morning with a new outlook and a new zeal for what I do! I cannot thank you enough.
I've never seen a teacher so passionate about what they do! You are such an amazing inspiration and role model
Hey! I just wanted to let you know a couple things.
1. you are an awesome teacher and it’s wonderful to see someone with such passion for their job
2. I live in florida and when the tragedy happened I began to make shirts that say “remember the 17” to sell them at my school. I ended up being able to donate all of the proceeds to Stoneman Douglas.

Bite by Bite I am from sarasota too!! I am sobbing 😭
Wait what happened

Your reaction to the room shows how dedicated you are to not your job but being a teacher. Its genuine and we need more like you.
Even the closet is so aesthetic omg
you remind me of a teacher in my new school mrs. craig always so positive and kind and sweet no matter what. bless you and your heart❤💗
All i needed was a teacher like you.
wow, i am in tears. this was so amazing! you deserve this so much. thank you for being so open with your experience amidst a very tragic time. your students will feel so safe and cozy in this room! congratulations!
I am in my last year of school and starting my student teaching. I could not imagine going through what you went through and I love that you remain so positive and passionate about life, your school, your career, and most importantly your students. I am so glad and grateful I found your channel. Much love from a fellow teacher 🤓
are u really a teacher?🙂
You are such a dream! Strong, beautiful, passionate, emotional, driven, and caring... You and your students deserve this classroom more than anything. Thank you for choosing to be the teacher that makes a real difference.
I was crying with you you are such amazing teacher you deserve all of that your are amazing your always happy after everything that’s happened to you are the most happiest teacher ever. xx
Omg I'm so sorry about what happened to yall! But I love the fact that you kept a positive and energetic mood. We need more teachers like you!
Sending love to you at MSD in Florida. There are no words to explain what you all went through the beginning of this year and how helpless the rest of the world felt while watching it on the news. May this year be a year of recovery and love. And may your classroom always serve as a safe haven for your students.
I cried this whole video! I'm so happy for you and your students! This classroom is stunning and definitely well deserved! I pray that y'all have peace and learn to feel safe at school again. I wish you the best of luck in this school year and all the years to come. Much love ❤
You deserve this so much after everything you’ve gone through!! So so pretty and welcoming!
i was watching your videos and didn't know you were a teacher at msd. watching them back with the knowledge that you are, makes these videos even more amazing. i'm bawling my eyes out because i have never seen a teacher so dedicated to her students and making them feel safe and comfortable. you're amazing. i love this so much.
I cried my eyes out watching this video!!! It is so amazing to know there are teachers like you. I love how enthusiastic you are about your students and how much you care for them
For some reason I feel the need to THANK YOU for loving you’re job and being what u wanted to be the love that u have for ur job does make a difference on how u work . I just hope that one day I become just like in achieving my goals and then loving my job and being exited for it each & everyday
You are truly inspiring! I’m so happy and excited for your students. Before 9th grade I’ve always been horrible at English and I would always get horrible grades on my essays, but somehow my 9th grade English teacher was able to reach me and teach me in a way that I understood. Now I truly love writing and have gotten A’s on all of my essays in high school. I can tell that you will do the same for your students
Wow! Your classroom is gorgeous! I hope the high schoolers don't mess it up. Thank you for showing us. I love it! I hope you have a successful year! Sincerely, Silvia (MSD Class of 99 & Currently a Science teacher)
Silvia R i was thinking that too. Not everybody is respectful ☹️
I discovered your channel today and wow you are absolutely amazing! I’m currently working on my masters for school counseling and I’m gonna strive to be like you. One day when I’m finally working at a school I hope my office to be a safe and welcoming place to all my students.💗
It's so beautiful and it's teachers like you that this world needs. I hope you have a great school year!!!
I know this may sound bad or weird to some but i’ve always wanted to become a teacher. Since I was a little girl I used to play school and just teach all of my stuffed animals as if they were my students. With that being said, living in this society makes me scared to fur fill that dream. Tragedies like this scare me and I honestly don’t know how i’d react in that situation due to my extreme anxiety and to have to protect all of those students makes that even more intense for me. Seeing these videos helps so much but that’s just been a little concern for that and I can’t thank you enough for that. Your such an incredible and brave person which is so inspiring to me.
I used to do the same thing! I chose nursing over teaching but I still feel that urge for some reason. God bless your journey!
Vanessa Cooper me too!
I just came across this video & I loveeee that you try to have close relationships with your students and have been able to make a classroom feel more comfortable for your students. It’s people like you that make a difference in this world ! Definitely subscribing :)
This is amazing. I came across your channel randomly but I'm so glad I did. I'm truly sorry for the pain you and your school felt and it's amazing to see the positivity from you! I subscribed so fast! You are truly a ray of sunshine, just watching your videos make me feel happier! I wish I could have a teacher like you that cares so much. Keep doing what you're doing because good teachers can truly change lives of students. Can't wait to see more videos!!!
You have the most beautiful classroom I have ever seen!!! I cried a little watching this, because you are such a sweet person and I was so happy for you when you saw your classroom. I bet all of your students love you so much. You are going to do great things being a teacher 💛💛💛🌻🌼
You seem like the nicest person in the WORLD and I've never seen a classroom like that i want more teachers like u you're the best
Your classroom is UNBELIEVABLE! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I just started watching and I can’t get over the positivity radiating from you, your a ball of sunshine 🌞! My heart goes out to each and every one of you. I pray God watches over you all and keeps y’all in his hands. You will literally change lives. ALSO your classroom is my aesthetic💛
I cried and laughed right along with you! What an amazing reveal. Hope you and your students have a wonderful year in your new space!
I’m not crying......, YOU ARE 😭😭😭😭
I wish all classrooms could be this inviting. Make us want to go to school and comfortable here. I wish teachers had to qualify to be as nice as you because I remember last year the second I stepped into my history class I had so much anxiety and I would go home and cry.
This is incredible. Thank you for being so strong and making your classroom a safe space. I’m sure it will make a difference in the lives of your students!
I love al the flexible seating #classroomgoals
I was in tears when both of you were crying. This classroom is so beautiful and inspiring!!
WOW you deserve this room! You are such a sweet and strong person!
ohmygod i am actually sobbing silently on the couch next to my boyfriend who thinks i’m crazy. this is so sweet and heartfelt. much love
You are a sweetheart! Bless you for being such a light in your students lives. The world needs more teachers like you ☺️
All that you have been through. All that your school has gone through from that horrific time, you earned this.
Especially for being a hero.
Dayinthelife Ross what happened?? Was there. Shooting or something?
Allie Babydoll Yes. Unfortunately. A former student at that school, Stoneman Douglas located in Florida, shot up the school. Killing 14 students and faculty members. He went into the freshmen building. They released a video from his cell phone of his plans to be the next mass shooter. It was heartbreaking. :(
Ahhh! I’m a high school student and I would definitely feel more at home if we had learning environments like this at school. You seem like an AMAZING teacher and I wish I had you. You seem like you care a lot about your students which is a nice change from a lot of teachers. You’re so fun and energetic!! And your room feels so homey just watching it over TH-cam!! I hope you have a good rest of the semester! ❤️
I wish I had a classroom at school like this!! There needs to be more teachers like you!! I am so sorry for what everyone had to go through ❤️
Girl your channel is gonna blow up! Your personality is amazing and you seem like such a kind person. People will soon find you!
You are so happy!! I love it and wish my kids had all their teachers like you or at least one! Thank you for teaching our youth!!!
WOW...i would enjoy coming to school everyday , you seem like a teacher that is really all about her students..coming from me a high school student i find it harder to learn and enjoy a class if the teacher isn't so warming and welcoming.. i would feel so comfortable in that class .. i give you soooooo much respect for what you do this is truly heartwarming .
Needless to say, you are an amazing teacher. My heart goes out to this school to feel safe, we had our own shooting 5 months ago. I hope your students feel safe
This popped up in my recommended and I couldn’t believe the caption and thumbnail. I would do anything to have a classroom like this in high school where I could feel safe and not worried❤️ I loved this and I’m so sorry what you had to go through. This room is a dream and I really hope you and your students enjoy every moment in it❤️
Thank you for this sweet comment. Means a lot.
this is literally my first time viewing you and i’m crying.
i’ve always had a dream of being a teacher but i thought i’d never get there..
now that i’ve seen this, you’ve motivated me so much in just 10 minutes and i already love you.
your soul is so sweet.
❤️ thank you ❤️
What a gorgeous room and an incredible reminder of joy... praying for your school year. You're clearly so passionate about your students and their safety and passion for learning. So inspired!
I wish we had more teachers like you. Then we might be more enthusiastic about learning. I’m so sorry that this happened at your school, it shouldn’t happen anywhere
I would have done so much better in school if I had a relaxed and comfortable space to learn like that
Just found you tonight! Couldn’t wait to subscribe!! Your personality and content already hooked me but then to find you and your school had to go through such tragedy and you are still smiling and encouraging so many people!! One woman to another I’m just proud of you!! ♥️👏🏻
Have the best school year ever!!
this is what classrooms should look like and what teachers should be like. kids are scared to go to school because of all this stuff that has happened and on top of that it gives us so much anxiety to go to a place 5 days a week for 8 hours and learn all this stuff then go home and spend 4 hours on homework, it can just all feel like too much. if all teachers were like you, i know that we wouldn’t feel that way just because of your spirit and kindness. love you for that.
god daumn, I'm coming to this school next year
i freaking love this teachers heart and soul, I'm not crying..my eyes are sweating.
i really wish i could have had the opportunity to have you as a teacher. you have such an amazing, genuine, and caring nature about you and i can really tell that you love what you do. it makes me happy to know there are people out there who are so passionate about their career!
I wish the teachers at my school actually cared. You are such a blessing to those kids
Balled like a baby right along with you during your reaction to your new classroom. It’s so beautiful and probably the coziest classroom I’ve ever seen.
This is the most amazing classroom I've ever seen! And it's even cooler that it's English which is my favorite subject! And such a creative environment to write and learn in. You are so full of life I wish to only find a passion one day as strong as yours with teaching. You need to be on Ellen, and help others transform children's lives and classrooms. Good luck this year!
I love you soooo much!!! Seeing you come into theatre last year and hangout with all of us and coming to coffee house and just having fun with all of us are the things I'm going to miss now that I'm an official Douglas alumni. Your room looks amazing and this video brought me to tears especially since we are all restarting since everything happened. You are such an amazing teacher and person!!
I wish this kind of things were more common... Where I live most teachers don't even have their own room and almost all of the classrooms are the same except for some space differences and things, it would be really good to have this space to study and work in. You're really so inspiring!!
This is such a beautiful classroom!!! It looks so homey and a great environment for kids to learn comfortably and safely. Which is SO important. Kids fee scared to go to school due to all the shootings lately so I love that you’re making them feel just a bit safer in your classroom environment
ToriVlogs They were gifted the classrooms after their own school shooting took place. It’s to help the students re-enter and feel comfortable.
Your room looks absolutely amazing. YOU are SO DESERVING! All kids will come in and feel safe and welcomed. I wish you nothing but the best this year
Your reaction to your new room is so touching and made me cry a lil!!! 💖💖💖
Your classroom is absolutely beautiful, inviting, and safe for your students! 😀 You are going to continue to change the lives of your students! 😀 May God continue to bless you and keep you! 😀
What a amazing beautiful classroom, i think this needs to be done to all classroom in USA this will motivate the students
my Daughter classroom is falling apart and unfortunately there is no buget to do any repairs . i lovet it enjoy have have a wonderful New Year
What a beautiful room 💕 My favourite part is the unbreakable wall 👍🏼
We need more teachers like you. I still remember my 7th grade teacher that made me love history, I hate history normally. Loved your raw reaction so sweeeeet
Hello! I just found your TH-cam and I really wanted to share my story with you and let you know that you’ve completely changed my life! I found out two days ago that I don’t have enough money to cover tuition to my dream college by only $4,000, forcing me to stay at home and go to a local, regional college. I have been questioning my life choices terribly since then as I was going into this college undecided. I came across this video in particular and I realized I have been denying for almost two years now that my true passion and calling is to be a teacher! Thank you for helping me pick up the pieces and get on with my education and career!! You are an amazing teacher and an even greater human 💛
i just found you. you are the perfect teacher. what a welcoming soul and vibe. so happy to subscribe. can’t wait!
We need more teachers like this! Kids would want to go to school!
this is the sweetest thing!!! i am going into high school in a couple days and i hope just one of my teachers is as passionate as you!!
I just started watching you!!! I don't really comment but your such an amazing teacher and I admire how much you love your students!!! Keep being a beautiful soul !!! I love what your doing
i love you. i am a 8th grade student from Arizona and i have wanted to be a teacher since i was in kinder. i follow you and your journey because it inspires me for who i want to be daily and who i want to become! stand strong girlfriend and be yourself. i have no words for how grateful i am to follow your journey and that i get to have you as an influence to my life and my future career.
