Nigerian teacher Adaobi Amada recently experienced a heartening moment on the first day of the new school session when an anonymous student presented her with a touching note and a surprise gift.

The unnamed but grateful student conveyed their joy for the beginning of the academic year through a heartfelt note expressing warm wishes for a happy Resumption Day and prayers for a successful and prosperous year.

To add to the heartfelt sentiments, the student included a sum of N300 inside the letter as a token of appreciation. Overwhelmed by this considerate gesture, Adaobi took to social media to share photos of the note and express her gratitude. In her post, she reflected on reciprocating the student's kindness.

She contemplated doubling the money and returning it as a gesture of appreciation. However, she also pondered the potential impact, considering it might create expectations among other students to follow suit. This heartwarming story resonated with many online viewers, sparking discussions about teachers' significant role and influence on their students.

As the story continues to circulate, it has ignited conversations online, drawing netizens' attention to the impact teachers can have on their students' lives.

Earlier today, a student slipped this folded note into my hand after giving me a hug.

I was very busy at the time so I didn't open it. I just put it in my bag and later forgot about it.

I was checking my bag now, saw the note and opened it. pic.twitter.com/xKbYFhxwlf
