The dot is a great story about a girl named Vashti. I really liked it because being a future educator it is important to know how influential you can be as a teacher. Sometimes all it takes is a little push to allow your student to achieve greatness. In this a little dot on a piece of paper and the confidence given to a student from a teacher makes all the difference. It also goes to show that once you make a difference in one persons life they are able to help another.
