My Student Gave Me a Starbucks Gift Card—Then the Cashier Revealed Its Priceless Story
On the last day of school, a sixth-grade student gave me a Starbucks gift card. When I tried using it, the manager revealed that he had visited weekly for a month, adding just $2 or $3 whenever he could.
He told the staff it was for “the best teacher” he had ever known. The manager gave me free coffee and suggested I keep the card untouched—because the love behind it was worth far more than money.
