  1. My dad was born in Italy. On his 1st day of school in Australia, his teacher looked at his name on the roll — "Pasquale Lo Russo" — promptly decided it was too hard, crossed out letters she didn't want & renamed him "Paul". He's been Paul ever since. License, passport, everything @the_patima/989134886819676160

      I'm not sure all teachers realise what a monumental impact they have on the lives of the children they reach. Their actions have consequences that reverberate throughout lifetimes, for better or for worse 😕
