"        Teachers tend to get a bad rap these days. For all the work they put into educating their students, there always seems to be those parents\u00A0who simply aren&amp;#039;t\u00A0happy with their performances. But\u00A0one great\u00A0teacher can truly mean the world to a struggling student. In a YouTube video produced by APlus, grown-up former\u00A0students talk about the teachers who changed their lives for the better. Whether they were bullied, struggling with school material, or just down on themselves, these teachers picked them up and instilled a sense of confidence in them when no one else could.\u00A0 These\u00A0adults\u00A0were asked what they would say to their favorite teacher if given the chance. Answers\u00A0varied in length, but the bottom line? They&amp;#039;d like to tell their teachers &amp;quot;thank you.&amp;quot;\u00A0 What they didn&amp;#039;t know was that the teacher they were thanking was right next to them, secretly\u00A0listening in on their words of praise. When the surprise is revealed, many tears are\u00A0shed as the students hug\u00A0their teachers for the first time in a long time.\u00A0  One of the teachers even says, &amp;quot;Thank you, Victor. You have no idea how I needed to hear those words.&amp;quot;\u00A0 It&amp;#039;s heartbreaking to hear educators feel as though they aren&amp;#039;t making a difference in kids&amp;#039; lives, and\u00A0this video is a beautiful reminder to thank our teachers for what they do every day. Even teachers sometimes need encouragement, after all. [via HelloGiggles] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
