"Hana's Suitcase" is the award-winning book by author, Karen Levine.  It chronicles the story of the Brady Family who were caught up in the Holocaust during WWII and with, Fumiko, a Japanese teacher who discovers a Holocauts-era suitcase with the name, Hanna" on it in the 1990s and begins a quest to uncover exactly who this little girl, "Hanna/Hana" actually was.
My "Hana's Suitcase" story recounts my treasured experience helping one of my students read this book and discover, for herself, exactly who Hana was, too, just as Fumiko had done.  There is a surprise twist at the end of this story which helps to make it one of my favourite teaching memories of all time.

"My Hana's Suitcase Story" is the second in a collection of "Teacher" stories culled from experiences I've had in and out of the classroom during my 23 year teaching career.All Rights Reserved

Behind Classroom Doors II by GhostWriter4717

(Student/Teacher) If you have not read my first book (Behind Classroom Doors) please go do so before reading this one! This is the sequel but I hope you enjoy it! -------------------------- Behind Classroom Doors II- Excerpt: I press my finger against his lips to shush him. He stares at me, watching my hands fumble over my buttons and undo each button. I move it off of my shoulders and let it slide to the floor. My bra is the next to go, I undo it and take that off too. Then I untie the jaw string of the joggers, all while watching his reaction. I pull it down and step out of it but not before my shoes and socks. I'm down to my panties, but it only takes me a few seconds to take them off too. Completely bare in front of him, I walk over and turn the shower on. "I'm sorry that I showed up in men's clothes but I will tell you everything." I open the shower curtain and get inside. The water hits me, running down my whole body. "You need to talk to me too. Because the way that you felt when I walked into your office, is how I felt when I saw you scared on the bathroom floor. I make assumptions and lose the bigger picture." "What's the bigger picture?" He asks. "That we're in love with each other." I hold out my hand for him. "Come in here, so I can show you how much I love you." Shawn stares at my hand. Meanwhile my heart is beating so fast, I've never done anything like this before. Thankfully, he takes off his clothes and grabs my hand.

Empty by Linka_KHB

After being forced to constantly relive the trauma of that day, Chris Dalton's life is finally taking a turn for the better. He is embarking on a new career change as an elementary gym teacher while preparing to propose to the love of his life, Laila. Everything seems to be falling into place until he meets the girl in the cargo-pants, Ada Zabala, a special education teacher whose classroom happens to be right next to his office. There is something about Ada that captivates him, but he struggles to pinpoint it. Could it be the pain behind her eyes? Could it be the secrets she carries from her past? Or could it just be the way she fills him up and makes him feel like he isn't the only one with demons? The problem is: can two dark and empty souls fill each other up when their pasts are constantly clashing with the present? The other problem is: He made a promise to marry Laila, how can he break that promise? Ada just got out of an abusive relationship and swears off dating men from work, until he follows her to her classroom after she ran out of a meeting crying. His genuine worry for her made her feel seen. It made her feel heard. It made her feel like she was no longer alone. Though, as much as she wants him, Chris is already in a committed relationship and she isn't ready for another one. However, no matter how much they fight the urge, can they really stay apart? Why is he so drawn to her, and why can't she resist him despite knowing they're not healthy for one another? Secrets. Guilt. Pain. Loneliness. They know those things all too well, but will that bring them closer together, or just tear them apart harder?

Scintilla by roxynme

When you wake up in a locker you're certain things are already falling apart. Your very being there is a mix up that you can't explain. This new world of Ultimates and death isn't what you bargained for. You'll escape and continue your life uneventfully. Except things are being held together by your existence here, a new reality coming into play. If only you knew of your importance, the scintilla of hope you've created. - NDRV3 female reader insert (Usually in 2nd person, pronouns rarely used) - Plot divergence and dark themes

This is my first time writing nonfiction on Wattpad. It's a collection of 48 stories from my four years of college, one for each month. Follow me as I grow from this weird introverted high school graduate...into a weird introverted college graduate. You'll witness me going through such challenges as COVID, hell freezing over, the school president using the bell tower as a rocket to launch into space, internships, failing to get internships, study abroad, study abroad getting cancelled, Disney World, being on TV, sickness, the Olympics, online summer programs, roommate issues, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Hawaii, art exhibits, and most importantly, Splatoon 3. That was a very long list, and you'll find all of these things in this book.

The 10 by MandiLynn

A group of high school students is assigned to spend a week at a prison, a "social experiment," as the teacher calls it. Each student is assigned as a visitor to one inmate each, to learn life from their perspective. After the week is up, the students are free to go home finally. But, when the teacher announces that the students can continue to "stay in touch" with their inmate, one student decides to because she feels her inmate has a good heart. But she has no idea what she's getting herself, and nine others, into. *Story is 100% fictional. Any similarities in names, places, and situations are purely coincidental.*
