What is one of your favorite memories in the classroom?

What was your hardest experience while teaching? How did you overcome it.
The hardest experience is working through all of the red tape to help students who desperately need help. I find it difficult waiting a month or two for students to qualify for an IEP or receive title help. I just want to find ways or an extra person to help the student immediately.
