fromReader’s Digest • The Magic Power of Sleep How it makes you happier, healthier, sexier, even thinner • Unforgettable: Find my voice How a first-grade teacher taught me a crucial lesson. Gloria Estefan, as told to Lindsay Miller
“ Mrs. Collins taught me a lesson in fairness that I've never forgotten. I can't tell you how many times the persevering spirit she instilled in me has guided me through challenges in my life, whether it was learning English as a five-year-old or recovering from a broken back as an adult. I feel blessed that the universe brought Mrs. Collins and me together all those years ago. My first-grade teacher didn't just teach me the language: She helped me find my voice.”
