Types of Teachers Masterpost

*squeals* first masterpost yay! And if you can’t already tell, this particular masterpost is about dealing with your teachers. When you click with them, your teachers can be some of the most helpful people on the planet. But if you’re struggling with a teacher that’s mean, irritable, incompetent, or unhelpful, this post will hopefully help you handle them. Note that some teachers can be combinations of the types below.

Alright, let’s begin!

Speed Racer: This teacher is fast. Really fast. They cover all their material like it is an Olympic sprinting contest. No daydreaming permitted in this class-lost time will guarantee that you’ll miss material. The pros? You definitely won’t get bored in this class, and this teacher definitely knows their stuff. The cons? Well, there’s only one, really. If you don’t work your butt off, you’re going to be left behind.

how do i handle?: take really good notes, especially if the class is something that you’re not naturally good at. form a study group with people who are both better at you in the class and worse at you in the class. if you can explain the material to each other, chances are you understand. don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher after class and ask for clarification or extra practice. bring friends if possible as backup! if they see that you are committed to getting better at the subject they will be more willing to help you. do not complain about how hard the class is to your teacher, however. teachers like this cannot be swayed by whining, and it will not endear you to them. also, if you’re really struggling, don’t feel pressured to pull a big fat a+, and drop the class if it’s becoming a strain on your mental health. work as hard as you can, but reasonably. there will be other classes. no need to beat yourself up over this one.

Preacher-Teacher: This teacher will often tell you that they’re not here to teach you x subject, they’re here to teach you “life.” Generally, a middle-aged to elderly teacher. They are prone to long, painfully boring lectures, and one student making a mistake will often lead to the whole class getting a “lesson.” Favorite phrases include “back in my day.” A blowhard.

how do i handle?: realize that this teacher, for the most part, genuinely cares about you and the rest of the class. they may seem annoying or trite, but they are actually trying to help you, albeit somewhat ineffectually. if you get lectured, stay calm. know that this does come from a good place, but this person also likes to hear the sound of their own voice, so if you disrespect them (i.e. visibly ignoring their lectures, which they regard as gems of once-in-a-lifetime advice), they will only continue to lecture, only this time louder and angrier. stay polite, stay calm, and stay respectful, and you should never have a problem with this teacher.

Friendly Fire: This teacher is noted for their snarkiness and for making fun of their students. This is done jokingly, never maliciously, but their sarcastic wit can make you unclear where you really stand with them and when they are actually serious.

how do i handle?: honestly, just play it by ear. if this teacher is really mad at you, they will drop the sassy thing pretty fast. also, prepare to get embarrassed by this teacher if you are caught doing something stupid. if you are shy, don’t be afraid of them, they will allow you to joke with them as long as you keep it reasonable. and if for whatever reason this teacher actually crosses the line with you, talk to them about it after class. just say, “hey mr./mrs/ms. so-and-so, i really don’t like it when you joke about this thing. it kind of hurts my feelings because of x, and if you would just not do that in the future i would appreciate it a lot.” they will listen to you, because this teacher’s main goal is to be liked by their students. if something makes you uncomfortable, they will not do it.

Mock’n’ Roll: Not to be confused with Friendly Fire. This teacher makes fun of students in a cruel or unpleasant way. It is clear that they are not joking when they say these things, and they will often cross the line between what is acceptable and what is not. Students are afraid to speak in class because they don’t want to be targets.

how do i handle?: this teacher is a serious problem, especially if they make you feel unsafe. if this is an issue that you are having, talk to an administrator with other students. do not confront the teacher about their behavior. they are going to tell you you are being too sensitive, and chances are they will up the ante even more. if possible, get parents to complain as well. if enough people are upset with this behavior, the teacher will be forced to change, or at least there will be some oversight.

Big Ideas/No Ideas: This teacher is erratic and obsessive, switching things around often. They’ve seen this cool idea on teacher Pinterest and they’ve decided that they absolutely must use it in their classroom. This is used for two weeks, then is dropped and replaced with another idea. The classroom looks like a paint bomb hit it. Art, group projects, sitting at tables or beanbags instead of desks, and other such clever concepts are the norm. Although the teacher longs to be perceived as fun, many students find the constant change of plans confusing and frustrating, and more work goes into redecorating the classroom then actually teaching anything.

how do i handle?: stay calm. don’t let this teacher’s indecisiveness ruin your interest in studying this subject. if you’re serious about learning, study on your own or with friends who are like-minded. go along with the teacher’s style, but if they ever ask for feedback (which this type loves to do because they really want you to tell them how great their class is) give them honest, but respectful answers. say, for example, “i really liked it when we did x and y throughout the year, but i’m a little confused as to the point of z.” they probably won’t take your feedback, but on the off chance they do, it’s always good to say something. the good news is, this class is rarely too difficult because of this teacher’s loose style, so passing will probably not be a problem.

The Nitpicker: This teacher is really petty. They will deduct points from your work for incorrect headings, misspellings, you name it, if they can take points off for it, they will. Thinks their class is more important than any other. While their directions are always clear, having a different essay format can cost you nearly your entire grade. Excuses for late work or missing assignments are seldom accepted, and even then only in the most extenuating of circumstances.

how do i handle?: good news is, this teacher is so rule-oriented you can use this to your advantage. have a list of the rules on hand when you are doing their work, and triple-check everything after you are done to make sure you won’t lose points for something silly like forgetting your name. as stupid as it seems, these petty little rules are the teacher’s way of exerting control over you and your classmates. and if you rebel against them, your grade will suffer for it. better to just grin and bear it. also, it helps to have a planner so you can make sure you don’t turn in anything late. and if you have a really serious circumstance that your teacher will not make allowances for, talk to administration.

BFF Teacher: This teacher wants to be seen as a friend to you and your classmates. They will often wear the same clothes that you and your friends are wearing, with interesting results. They will use your slang, and may even want to gossip about other students. May follow you on social media. A little creepy, but more just pathetic.

how do i handle?: as cringe-worthy as they are, these kinds of teachers are just desperate for you to like them. be polite, but you don’t have to follow them on instagram or snapchat if it makes you feel uncomfortable. it’s nice to have some boundaries.

If You’re Not on the Team Don’t Talk To Me: This teacher is a coach or mentor of some kind. Whatever activity they sponsor is their life, so much so that they may neglect their teaching duties in favor of the team. Meanwhile, kids on the team who are also in the class get special benefits, and they may offer extra credit to non-team members for helping them manage the team (giving money to the team, buying team shirts, etc.)

how do i handle?: this situation is frustrating, but don’t feel like you have to be on the team to survive this teacher. of course, join the team if it’s something you’re really into, but don’t just join to get an in with the teacher. chances are you will be miserable. remember, there are more important things in life than being one of this teacher’s favorites.

The Cult of the Sun King: If your school has one of these teachers, you probably know exactly who I’m describing without reading the description. For the rest of you, this is a teacher who has a small, but loyal following of students. Think favoritism on an extreme level. If you get on this teacher’s good side, the class will be easy, but if you make a poor first impression you are doomed for the rest of the year. The class will be legendarily demanding and probably take up much of your time. You will be warned by older students not to take it, and if you do, that you will fail.

how do i handle?: if you are in this class, try to stay on their good side. do your work and be respectful and polite. however, don’t feel the need to smarm up to the teacher like some of their following will. you don’t have to buy them snacks or gush over every lesson. fakery makes no friends, and the other students will see through it. the class is probably not as hard as people tell you it is, but probably will be challenging. if the class is unreasonably demanding (i.e. forcing you to stay up until four in the morning doing lab reports) or takes up time you’d rather use to do other things, drop it. you don’t need that kind of stress in your life.

Emotional Pendulum: This teacher is, for whatever reason, a hot mess. They will end up telling you way too much about their personal life, and they will be notorious for breaking down in tears or yelling at students over small offenses. They are dramatic, and they will take actions by one student as indicative of the behavior of the whole class. See the class as confidants. Inconsistent and fickle.

how do i handle?: keep your head down and do your work. accept that you cannot control the behavior of this teacher. do not attempt to argue or reason with them. this will only cause them to behave even more irrationally. don’t get angry at them, however-this teacher clearly has some personal problems that you do not know everything about. if it gets to be too much, contact administration.

Grumpy Gus: This teacher will never be in a good mood. Nothing you can do will ever seem good enough, and there is nothing you can do to break them out of their funk. Has a low tolerance for jokes of any kind. Bonus-plays no favorites because they hate everyone equally.

how do i handle?: don’t expect them to like you. even if you’ve always been the teacher’s favorite. it’s not going to work, and they’re going to mark you as a suck-up. conversely, don’t goof around or try to be funny, as this teacher has the world’s shortest fuse. however, you can count on this type to teach consistently. as long as you aren’t looking for a friend, this teacher is easy enough to manage.

Politically Active: You know where exactly on the political spectrum this teacher falls because they make it very clear. Not only do they go out of their way to tell you their politics, their whole class is an indoctrination on why their politics are right and anyone who disagrees with them is stupid. Although they may say that they are an “independent,” everyone in the class knows they are anything but. Usually a history or social studies teacher of some kind. May invite debate, but it is clear that students who disagree with them are immediately written off in their book.

how do i handle?: this can be hard, especially if your own politics are completely divergent from the teacher’s. even if you agree with the teacher, the blatant over-politicization of the class may be hard to take. just remember to think critically about everything they tell you and that there are at least two sides to every story. avoid debating this teacher, but if it is absolutely necessary, stick to your guns, but be respectful. you are entitled your own opinion, even if that puts you at odds with them.

Grade Games: This is not so much a teacher as a tactic. Essentially, the teacher in question will neglect to put in grades, avoid or be confrontational when asked about grades, and tell you that “grades are not the only thing that are important.” As a result, you feel unsure whether to come forward with any questions about grades.

how do i handle?: all right, i had two of these lovelies last year and i can tell you it is not fun. in my experience, if you do care about your grade, you have to confront this teacher about it. it’s hard, it’s annoying, and it may lead them to dislike you, but this is better than having a poor grade in the class. bother them about putting grades in. ask to see your grades. if your school has an online gradebook that you can access, look at it frequently. they won’t like you, but they’ll at least be careful when grading your work.

Cell Phone Appreciation: These are certain teachers who have very little control over the class. Generally these are gym or health classes, but they can be core classes as well. Students will disrespect teachers like this because they are pushovers. As a result, everyone in class will be on their phones or doing work for other classes. The teacher is powerless to stop this.

how do i handle?: you can’t make the teacher discipline these students, but if you want to get something out of the class, restrict your own screen time (even if other people aren’t) and try to pay as much attention as you can. the teacher will appreciate you for it, and you’ll see better grades than those who are horsing around.

The Comedian: Remember Michael from The Office? Remember how funny he thinks he is, but how un-funny/dorky/stupid he is in reality? Now dial that up to eleven and you’ve got the Comedian. This teacher thinks that they are hilarious. In reality, nobody thinks that this teacher is funny and everyone thinks they are weird and trying too hard. Some people laugh to be polite, but most don’t. Often this teacher is also a BFF Teacher.

how do i handle?: unfortunately, there’s no easy fix for this one. you can’t complain about them unless they joke about something that is really inappropriate, in which case they don’t really fit into this category. for this one, you’re just going to have to go with it. don’t be rude and burst this teacher’s bubble by telling them they’re not funny. remember, you don’t have to like them.

The Bigot: This teacher is overtly racist, sexist, or LBGTQI-phobic. They will make inappropriate jokes, encourage bigoted discourse, or single minority students out as targets. Some students may laugh or agree with them. Others will stew silently but be afraid to confront them.

how do i handle?: you don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to, especially if you don’t want to be attacked. however, if it comes to a point where you feel like you absolutely must say something to this teacher, keep your cool. you want to seem like the reasonable one in this scenario. and it is a must that you report this behavior to your school’s administration.

The Perv: This is pretty much what it sounds like. Will put their hands on your shoulders or make comments about your clothes. May refer to students as “hot,” “cute,” etc. They will check the students out and make suggestive comments about them.

how do i handle?: do not confront this teacher about their behavior. they are a sexual predator who needs to be dealt with by administration. keep a log of everything creepy this teacher does so you will have evidence. also, the police should be contacted in an event that this is happening. remember, if enough people get involved this teacher will be removed.

tldr: dealing with teachers can be difficult, but if you stick to your principles, stay organized and on top of your work, and don’t try to be a teacher’s pet, you should be fine. and if a teacher is making you feel unsafe, contact your school’s administration.

COVID-19: Life after ventilators can be hell for coronavirus survivors

An undated handout picture launched by College School London in London, exhibits a volunteer affected person posing while carrying the Steady Optimistic Airway Stress respiratory assist. Picture Credit score:

Her fever hit 105 levels. In her delirium, Diana Aguilar was positive the strangers hovering over her, of their masks and robes, have been angels earlier than they morphed into menacing aliens. As a health care provider ready to slip a ventilator tube down her throat, all she remembers pondering was: “I cannot breathe. I have no air. I give up, I give up.”

Aguilar, within the throes of COVID-19, was beginning her 10-day descent into ventilator limbo. The mechanical machine to which her tube was connected is coveted for its means to push life-saving oxygen deep into broken lungs. But it is also feared and reviled for the injury it inflicts “- and for the slim odds of survival it affords. Aguilar wasn’t conscious of any of that, but she sensed this might be the tip. She whispered her goodbyes to her husband, son and daughter, none of whom have been anyplace close by, after which she prayed to God in her native Spanish.

“You’re going to be fine,” a voice reassured her. “Begin counting now; one, two””

The voice belonged to an anesthesiologist, the final she heard earlier than drifting off. Diana was recognized with COVID-19 on March 18, the day she arrived within the emergency room at Robert Wooden Johnson College Hospital Somerset in Somerville, New Jersey. The virus had already been ravaging her physique for weeks, infecting the tiny cells in her lungs that ship oxygen to her blood.

She was struggling to breathe, and each inch of her physique ached as she felt it failing. After which got here the intubation, a last-resort intervention to avoid wasting her life. It is an terrible second for every of the numerous hundreds of sufferers who’re estimated to have undergone the process.

Most won’t survive: Research counsel greater than two-thirds die whereas on ventilators.

Because the instances of COVID-19 an infection soar, already approaching 900,000 Individuals, an increasing number of sufferers are going by way of the identical dreaded therapy. The fortunate ones pull by way of, however their journey again to well being is lengthy and dangerous. Medical doctors are solely now studying in regards to the challenges forward for individuals who arrive on the hospital so breathless and low on oxygen {that a} ventilator, many consider, is all that is standing between them and loss of life.

“Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving intervention,” says Hassan Khouli, chair of important care on the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. But even when sufferers survive, “some of them will continue to be profoundly weak,” he says. “It can get to the point where they can’t perform daily activities “- shaving, taking a shower, getting ready a meal “- to the purpose they may be bedridden.”

Some folks by no means absolutely recuperate, says Michael Rodricks, medical director of Somerset’s intensive-care unit. And those that do usually should relearn primary abilities corresponding to strolling, speaking and swallowing.

When an individual inhales, oxygen flows by way of the trachea, down branches that divide many times, to finish in 600 million tiny buds of air sacs often known as alveoli. The oxygen passes simply by way of their partitions, only one cell thick, and into the blood stream, the place it fuels the remainder of the physique.

– Bloomberg

Only a few weeks in the past, when the success of social-distancing methods was removed from assured, numerous fashions estimated that the U.S., with about 63,000 of the gadgets accessible throughout the nation, would fall dramatically and tragically in need of the numbers wanted. At one level, it was estimated that New York Metropolis alone may have 40,000 ventilators. Auto producers agreed to work with medical-device makers to ramp up emergency manufacturing. And as makeshift hospitals sprang up in New York’s Central Park and in convention facilities and gymnasiums throughout the nation, plans have been hatched to place two sufferers on a single ventilator to double capability.

Now there’s excellent news: It seems that U.S. hospitals will want fewer than 17,000 gadgets to deal with COVID-19 sufferers, in response to one extensively used mannequin. What the ultimate numbers will seem like because the virus continues its march throughout the nation is anybody’s guess. However there’s little doubt there’ll be hundreds of ventilator survivors as soon as the pandemic is over. And the standard of their lives remains to be an open query.

“They were jumping and clapping, and everybody was so happy. I didn’t know I had all these people waiting for me, waiting to see how I’d do.”

She awakened whereas he fell asleep

When Aguilar, 55, awakened in intensive care on the finish of March, she discovered her wrists tied to the mattress body. That, she later discovered, was to cease her from tearing out the tube that ran down her throat all the way in which to her lungs. It was linked to a mechanical ventilator that had been respiratory for her for 10 days as she lay in a medically induced coma.

A nurse slowly peeled the tape off her face and, with a flick of her wrist, yanked out the tube. Aguilar had made it by way of probably the most harrowing section of her COVID-19 gauntlet.

Nurses and docs lined the hallway exterior her room within the 361-bed regional medical middle, positioned midway between Trenton, New Jersey, and New York Metropolis. When she seemed up by way of the glass window, they began cheering and chanting. “Yay, Diana! You made it!” she remembers listening to.

“They were jumping and clapping, and everybody was so happy,” she says. “I didn’t know I had all these people waiting for me, waiting to see how I’d do.”

She hadn’t but absolutely grasped how shut she had come to loss of life and the lengthy odds she had simply crushed. The cheers have been additionally as a result of most of the sufferers with whom she shared the ICU finally have been rolled out in physique baggage. This is why: The lungs are dynamic, delivering inhaled oxygen into the blood provide in seconds. If they are not working, the injury is swift. An individual can go from wholesome to useless in fewer than six minutes.

She additionally did not know that her husband, Carlos Aguilar, was within the room subsequent to her. Whereas Diana was sedated because the machine helped her breathe, Carlos had grown in poor health with the identical virus. Just a few days earlier, he’d been admitted to the hospital. And hours after Diana regained consciousness, Carlos, 64, was sedated so docs may slide a tube down his throat as his respiratory worsened.

Coronavirus and the irritation it causes is like slime, clogging up the intricate system. One of the vital troubling elements is the virus’s means to penetrate deep inside the lungs, burrowing into cells and churning out viral particles. The problem is not simply shedding these cells within the lungs which might be supposed to assist oxygenate the physique. The issue is the lungs then grow to be the battleground for the battle, the place the human immune system takes on the international invader. The tightly packed cells grow to be so swollen from fluid and irritation they cease functioning. Survivors have likened it to the feeling of drowning.

Why does one want a ventilator

As a result of SARS-CoV-2 is new to the human physique, the an infection can set off an enormous immune response, says Christopher Petrilli, an assistant professor at NYU Langone Well being in New York.

“If you have an infection, your body tries to recruit as many immune cells as it can to fight that infection,” he says. “Whereas it’s efficient at destroying the cells which have the virus, it has the potential to wreck the encompassing tissue as properly.”

The interaction between the respiratory and circulatory methods, which run oxygen-enriched blood by way of the physique, is delicate. In COVID-19 sufferers, the lungs do not transfer sufficient oxygen. This restricts the quantity that makes it into the blood, the place it’s presupposed to gasoline the physique, restore and substitute broken cells and help the immune system.

That is the place a ventilator is available in.

It can be adjusted to spice up oxygen, stress and quantity, pushing the air extra forcefully into the lungs. However even when a affected person is severely in poor health, some alveoli nonetheless perform properly. The objective is to take the stress off the sick areas whereas supporting these which might be nonetheless working, ensuring they’ve the best quantities of oxygen and stress so that they can enrich the blood as effectively as potential.

“I call this the Goldilocks approach,” says J. Brady Scott, an associate professor of cardiopulmonary sciences at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. “Once we put folks on ventilators, one among my targets is to offer an individual the oxygen they want however not trigger injury to the elements of the lungs which might be nonetheless wholesome. You do not need to get too little, not an excessive amount of. You need to give simply what’s proper.”

Although weak, Diana felt a wave of euphoria when she was freed from the ventilator. However her sense of pleasure was short-lived. A health care provider knowledgeable her that her husband was on life help within the ICU room subsequent to hers. Diana was crushed. Had she made it this far, solely to see her husband of 35 years taken away from her? The couple had been collectively since Diana was simply 17 years outdated. She wasn’t about to say goodbye to him now. The next day, as she was wheeled out of intensive care, her nurse pulled her mattress up beside his room to let her peer by way of the glass window so she may catch a glimpse of Carlos, who was now on a ventilator, too.

“I don’t know how I pulled my body to sit up, but I wanted to see him,” she says. Her cellular phone felt like a brick in her weak hand, however Aguilar managed to raise it above the mattress body to snap a photograph of Carlos. She blessed him earlier than she was whisked away, exhausted.

With each mother and father in intensive care, the Aguilar’s grown kids have been distraught. Carlos Aguilar Jr., 32, lives along with his mother and father in New Jersey and had watched them each quickly deteriorate from COVID-19 at dwelling. “I felt helpless,” he says, especially after dropping his dad off at the hospital, waiting in the silent house for a phone call. “Not understanding what’s subsequent is so laborious.” For years, the primary focus of critical-care docs who intubate sufferers has been conserving them alive, fine-tuning the remedies in an effort to enhance survival charges. The machines, first launched in 1928, have been initially known as iron lungs and used to assist polio sufferers breathe. Solely not too long ago have researchers discovered that the organic responses to the respiratory machines that kick in nearly instantly usually have lasting hurt.

The risks of utilizing a ventilator

“There are a lot of other dangers when we use mechanical ventilation,” says Richard Lee, interim chief of pulmonary diseases and critical-care medicine at the University of California at Irvine. “Now we have to sedate sufferers for them to tolerate a mechanical respiratory tube of their lungs, and the longer you’re in an ICU on sedation requiring a machine, all these different issues “- like decreased muscle tone and strength and the risk of hospital-acquired infections “- enhance.”

When an individual goes on a ventilator, the muscle tissues that sometimes deal with their respiratory begin to atrophy inside hours. Many sufferers are placed on sedatives to make it simpler for the machine to take over. However this immobilizes different elements of their physique and results in widespread weak spot.

Danger of loss of life

The chance of dying stays increased than common for a minimum of a 12 months after getting off a ventilator, a threat tied to each the variety of days spent on the machine and different well being circumstances the affected person had earlier than falling sick.

Diana did not have one of the best well being monitor document stepping into. She is a two-time colon-cancer survivor with hypertension, iron deficiency and some additional kilos. She has solely obscure reminiscences of her days on a ventilator, waking up in ache unable to speak or transfer, earlier than drifting again right into a troubled sleep stuffed with desires of her deceased family. Her husband, Carlos, with no earlier medical situation, had a completely totally different expertise. He spent three days on a ventilator, mildly sedated, spending his days napping or sitting in an armchair watching tv.But each now face the ordeal of recovering from their remedies. Luckily, they have been in a position to keep away from the worst-case state of affairs, a situation often known as Publish-ICU syndrome that can afflict as many as half of COVID-19 sufferers who survive on a ventilator, says the Cleveland Clinic’s Khouli.

“These patients become deconditioned,” he says. “Some behave like they’re actually paralyzed, as if they’re quadriplegics. They can barely transfer their muscle tissues.”

Hospitals are gearing as much as deal with these survivors, who already quantity within the tons of. Some, like SUNY Downstate Medical Middle in New York, are establishing whole rehabilitation flooring to assist folks coming off ventilators learn to dwell once more. Others are attempting to chop again use of the machine, avoiding a rush to ventilators when oxygen could be all that is wanted.

There are additionally gadgets in improvement to assist with restoration, corresponding to Liberate Medical’s VentFree Muscle Stimulator. It makes use of electrical stimulation to set off contractions within the belly wall muscle tissues, permitting sufferers to “exercise,” even whereas they’re unconscious, to maintain them in some semblance of form. The objective is to assist wean them off the gadgets sooner and finally increase survival charges, says Chief Government Officer Angus McLachlan.

In sufferers who develop acute respiratory misery “- a common condition with COVID-19 marked by dramatic drops in oxygen levels “- there’s a second stage the place scarring within the lungs develops, the College of California Irvine’s Lee says. As inflammatory and different cells invade the area, the structure of the lungs is completely modified.

The machines additionally can trigger cognitive impairment, Rodricks says. A affected person who labored as an accountant could have a tricky time going again to work. An aged one who was beforehand impartial may battle to carry out every day duties corresponding to driving or grocery buying. And a runner may by no means be in a position to hit the identical tempo once more.

“Your overall condition may take some time to get back to its pre-Covid, pre-ICU state “- if it ever will get again to that pre-ICU state,” he says.

The restoration will be sweeter for Diana Aguilar, now that Carlos has rejoined her after being launched from the hospital on April 14. Up to now, three weeks after her launch, it has been mercilessly gradual. Diana nonetheless feels weak, with a shortness of breath and vivid nightmares that she’s again within the hospital, tied to the mattress, unable to breathe. However she’s grateful.

“There is some miracle that I’m here and he’s here,” she says. “I feel like God gave us another opportunity in this life.”
