Teachers play a very important role in the lives of students. They teach, inspire, nurture and raise them to be the best versions of themselves. Some teachers go to great lengths to make their students feel valued and loved. In an inspiring example of his dedication and love for his students, a teacher arranged for all his students' work to be graded hours before his death.
A photo of the teacher working on his laptop from his hospital bed was shared by his daughter Sandra Venegas in 2020. The touching moment once again went viral on social media. The teacher made the effort to bring his laptop and charger even though he had a health problem and knew he was going to the emergency room. He finished assessing every student and tragically died the next day.
