For over a year now students have been faced with a completely restructured style of teaching. From online classes to socially distant classrooms, many kids around the world have been rolling with the punches and doing their best to keep up with the curriculum.
Seeing the hard work and dedication of her students, passionate teacher Beccah Rosalie decided she wanted to do something to reward them for their efforts.
Mulling over what she could reward them with, Rosalie wanted a prize that would help motivate her students and give them something to look forward to. Already having got a few tattoos in the past, she bravely decided she would allow them to design her next tattoo.
Overjoyed at the chance to create a drawing that would permanently mark their teacher's skin, Rosalie's students threw themselves into a drawing competition. Collecting a roster of top designs, the students from each of her classes put it to a vote, and the final drawing was chosen.
With the winning drawing held in her hand, Rosalie brought "Doodlebob" with her to her scheduled tattoo appointment. Handing the design over to Sarah Ransom's capable hands, the tattoo was placed on Rosalie's wrist; right in the open for everyone to see.
With the tattoo complete and starting to heal, Rosalie walked into the class for the grand reveal. Met with whooping cheers and cries, her students were ecstatic when they saw their reward.
