Abstract	Schools must be places where powerful adults step into children's lives. Adolescence is the most difficult time in the course of building an individual's identity and sense of worth. In this article, the author emphasizes that all students should walk paths that enable them to make essential connections with the adults in their lives, and that it is the teachers' job to help vulnerable students navigate the difficult path of their teen years. Moreover, the author stresses that it is the teachers' central job for students to prepare them for their lives as compassionate, empathetic adults, and that teachers must model this behavior for them so that they can learn how to be caring citizens in a complex, democratic society. In this article, the author shares her experiences with Mirabel, a young student facing the loss of her mother to cancer, and lessons learned in helping this girl navigate through her grief process.
