Teen goes viral as essay that made teacher cry has the internet in tears

A teen by the name of Ryan Harman has gone viral on TikTok after sharing an essay she wrote that made her English professor cry – and it’s now making all of TikTok cry too.

The pen might not be mightier than a sword if you find yourself in a sword fight. However, it is a good tool if you want to make your teachers cry. This is what Ryan Harman did after submitting a personal essay. And she also decided to share it on TikTok.

In just two days, the video has been watched over six million times and has accumulated over 882,500 likes, and for good reason.

The reason? It makes most people who read it burst into tears.

What is the essay that made my English teacher cry trend on TikTok?

Ryan decided to write an essay about her mom, who died in 2022 after a battle with cancer. She explains the heart-wrenching and tragic story of her mother passing away from cancer when she was just 18 years old. 

“From the day she was diagnosed, she lost a different part of her every day. She was strong, resilient, loving, caring and most of all the best mom anyone could ask for,” she wrote. 

It starts with her explaining how proud she’d been after her mom had managed to go to her high school graduation after being unable to leave the house.

Ryan went on to describe how she went on a beach vacation with her friends. While away, her mom suddenly stopped replying to her FaceTime calls. However, Ryan decided not to worry and continued to enjoy her time away.

As she got back home, her mom had gotten significantly worse. The tumors had grown rapidly and her spine had 75% collapsed, and she then entered hospice care and never got back up from her bed.

“The first couple of days following her entering hospice care, I was in shock. I didn’t believe that my mom was going to die when I was only 18,” Ryan wrote.

The rest of the essay detailed the family’s last moments with their mom while her “heart shattered into a million pieces”.

It’s making people all across the world cry

The response Ryan got after posting the essay on her TikTok has been nothing but supportive. With over 20,700 comments, the compliments keep flooding in.

One person commented: “This has me ugly crying right now, you’re so strong. I know your mom is so proud of who you’ve become.”

Another said: “I just sobbed. Im so beyond sorry for your loss, this is beautiful.”

“I just cried so much, this is so good,” a third person wrote.

HEARTWRENCHING

Read This Teen's Essay About Her Mom That Has Everyone Ugly Crying On TikTok

A teenager's heartbreaking essay has gone viral, leaving TikTok users sobbing.

At age 18 Ryan Harmann wrote a gut-wrenching piece after losing her mother to cancer. Harmann shared the beautiful piece on her TikTok this week, saying it "made her English professor cry." Well, now we're all crying.

The TikTok video has been viewed almost seven million times and racked up more than one million likes, despite just being screenshots of the essay. We've transcribed them all here for easier reading.

It was May of 2022, when my life was supposed to be at its peak, until one day it wasn't. I had high school graduation and senior week at the beach with my graduating class. I was starting my adulthood and my college career and I couldn't have been happier. In January of 2021, my mom got diagnosed with Sarcoma Cancer and had to undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatments. From the day she was diagnosed, she lost a different part of her life everyday. She was strong, resilient, loving, caring and most of all the best mom anyone could ask for. She never asked the doctors for a time expectancy, she wanted to live the best she could with her three children and her husband. My mom had a goal from the start, to watch me go to my senior prom and to see me and my sister, Madeleine, walk across the stage at graduation. She achieved both of those goals.

May 26, 2022, I walked across that stage at graduation, with my mom in a wheelchair watching proudly. The first step I took on that stage, I felt her overwhelming amount of love and knew she was she proud and that was all that mattered in that moment. After I graduated, I received a text, "I love you so so much and am so proud of you." Those words felt like I just won the Super Bowl. She didn't get out of the house much so her being able to attend graduation was a big accomplishment and it took a lot out of her. We had a celebratory dinner at home and she was too exhausted to stay awake for dinner. Although it was upsetting that she wasn't at dinner, I was just thankful she was able to be there and meet her goal.

I was looking forward to going on my week-long beach trip with all of my best friends that night. All week long while I was away, I was texting my mom, telling her all of the drama going on with all of my friends and FaceTiming her. Until Friday came along and my mom stopped answering my texts and my FaceTime calls. I was a little worried and debated texting my dad to see if she was okay, but I let it go and continued on with my last night at the beach.

I was excited to get back home and tell my family all about the week I had. Instead, I came home to my mom in bed and my dad sat me and my two older siblings down and told us that our mom wasn't doing well and he was very worried. At the time, I was thinking my dad was freaking out and exaggerating and that she was going to be OK. After a lot of thinking, my dad decided to take her to the hospital. She walked from her room, downstairs and into the car. At the hospital, they told her that her spine is 75 percent collapsed because of the tumors growing rapidly. I thought to myself that my mom was a superstar, she just walked on a spine that almost was completely collapsed. From that point on, my mom entered hospice care and did not get back up from her bed.

We called all of our family and friends and let them know that her life was coming to an end. The first couple days following her entering hospice care, I was in shock, I didn't believe that my mom was going to die when I was only 18 years old. I remember sending a text to my sister, Madeleine, and asking "Is Mom going to die?" Her response was, "In a few weeks, yeah." My heart shattered into a million pieces. I knew from that point on, I was going to take advantage of the time left with my mom and not have any regrets. I did not want to look back at the last few weeks I had left with my mom and think "I wish I spent more time with her" so I did everything in my power to protect my future self from regret. As friends and family members were coming by, I was laying in bed right next to my mom, holding her hand. I couldn't imagine what my life was going to become. My mom reminded as daily that she loved us and that when she passes, she wants us to move forward. She told us, "When I take my last breath, I want you guys to dance, don't cry, dance."

Days started to blur together as my mom went in and out of consciousness for the next couple weeks. I remember sitting in bed, with my door open and my parents bedroom door open too, scared that I would hear her take her last breath. She started talking in her sleep and talking to her deceased mother telling her that she would see her soon.

The stress that my family endured is not something I would not wish on anyone. We were on lockdown, spending time with my mom and watching her slowly go through the different stages of death. I was in a mental block, I wasn't eating as much as I should've, my main focus was spending as much time as I could with her. On July 7th, my mom said to my dad "I'm so tired I need to go, I will see you later," as she closed her eyes. My dad came down the stairs and told us we all need to go say our final goodbyes. My older siblings went up first. I started pacing back and forth, I did not want to say bye to my best friend. I started my journey up the stairs, with tears rolling down my cheeks, and I stopped, I couldn't do it. I walked into my parents bathroom until I built the courage to go and say goodbye. I walked to my mom, kissed her on the forehead and told her I would see her later and that I loved her.

When the news spread that it might be the day she passed, family members were coming to say their goodbyes, until my mom randomly woke up. At this point, she has been in hospice for 4.5 weeks. When she opened her eyes, I was upset. I was upset my mom was alive. I felt like such a horrible human. I walked outside with my heart in my stomach as I saw my dad leaned over crying talking on the phone. I couldn't imagine going through the process of saying goodbye again. My mom was up and talking for about 5 more days until she went back into a state of total unconsciousness. My dad decided to kick me and my siblings out, and send us to our aunt's house at the beach because he didn't want us to see her in that state anymore.

The beach was my moms favorite place. She would sit on the beach from 9 AM-5 PM every chance she would get. She would take any chance she got to go to the beach, especially since it meant spending more time with her kids. She always had a Grapefruit Crush in her hand and soaked up the sun. She looked so beautiful on the beach and she was in her element. I was sitting on the beach, and had a thought that I needed to tell my mom, but realized I couldn't. My mom was still alive, but I couldn't talk to her. I felt weak. I didn't want this to be the end. I had tears in my eyes as my sister said "Ryan, me and Tommy (my brother) are going to go to Jason Aldean on Sunday, do you want to go? I wanted to go, but for some reason the word "no" came out of my mouth. From that moment forward, all I could think about was my mom. I told my siblings I wanted to go back home that night, I couldn't be away from mom anymore.

When we got back home, there was no change in my moms status. We were told, by hospice, to leave her be and she will go on her own. A few days after returning home from the beach, I woke up and my siblings got ready to go to the concert as me and my dad stayed home with my mom. Around 3 PM, I took a nap and woke up to my dad coming out of their room and said "can you go check her breathing?" I went in and she had the death rattle, I knew today was the day. From then on, my dad and I alternated going in and checking on her until about 7:30. We layed in bed with her and realized her skin was ice cold. I layed there until I couldn't anymore, and I went downstairs. Around 9 PM, my worst nightmare came true. I heard my dads footsteps, and turned the corner and said "I think so, I think she's gone." I had never felt a true heart break and such emptiness ever.

We then had to call my siblings at the concert. We called each of them about 20 times. My brother finally picked up and we had to tell them over the phone. I heard my sister scream and sob, that was the moment where I realized this is real life. Friends and family members started trickling in, I met my siblings outside and hugged them in the driveway as they came home from the concert. My sister looked up at me and said, "we didn't answer your calls because we were dancing. We were dancing when mom took her last breath, just like she wanted." I felt relief in this moment, my mom passed away just the way she wanted to and I knew she wasn't in pain anymore.

As I continue living life without my mom, I realize every single thing I do is to make her proud. I have matured and grown as an individual. As I am constantly paralyzed by the pain that is caused by her death, I remind myself that I am lucky enough to feel this great amount of pain because my mother was such a phenomenal person. There is nothing I wish more than to be able to pick up the phone and call my mom, but I feel peace that she is watching over me and sees my every move. She fought her hardest fight for a month and half to give us the time we desperately needed to say goodbye to her, and for that, I will forever be grateful. I celebrate her existence everyday and am so incredibly grateful to have the best Angel looking over me.

Ryan Harman lost her mom to cancer last year.

In an essay for her English class, she divulged the heart-wrenching journey from diagnosis to death — bringing the internet and her West Virginia University professor to tears.

Harman shared the lengthy text in a viral TikTok video this week, garnering more than 13 million views and 45,000 teary responses.

At a time when her life was “supposed to be at its peak,” everything fell apart, she wrote, explaining that her mom was diagnosed with sarcoma, which invades bones and soft tissue , in 2021.

Harman went on to write that her mom got to see her and her sister graduate from high school, but it wasn’t until the newly minted graduate was on a celebratory beach trip with friends that things went downhill.

Her mom stopped replying to texts and calls, and when Harman returned home, her mom was bedridden with a 75% collapsed spine due to tumor growth.

Dedicated to a life of no regrets, Harman spent as much time as possible with her mom, laying in bed with her, holding her hand.

“She told us, ‘When I take my last breath, I want you guys to dance, don’t cry, dance,'” Harman wrote, expressing shock that she would be losing her mother at just 18.

In the summer of 2022, Harman’s siblings attended a Jason Aldean concert while she opted to stay home — that ended up being the night their mom died. Harman and her father rang them “about 20 times” until someone picked up.

When they arrived home, Harman’s sister said: “We didn’t answer your calls because we were dancing. We were dancing when mom took her last breath, just like she wanted.”

That was the line that choked up viewers .

“The dancing part got me,” one viewer admitted. “I am so sorry for your loss.”

“‘We didn’t answer your calls because we were dancing,'” another quoted. “I lost it.”

“I can’t stop crying,” confessed someone else.

“This broke my heart in the most beautiful way,” a TikToker agreed.

Some invested readers even made their own videos in response, many showing themselves tearing up or fully crying .

“No bc that essay deserves an award,” one user wrote on a clip .

“Me sobbing in the middle of work bc I read the essay,” shared another person on their own video . “‘We didn’t answer bc we were dancing.'”

The Post has reached out to Harman for comment.

“There is nothing I wish more than to be able to pick up the phone and call my mom, but I feel peace that she is watching over me and sees my every move,” Harman wrote.

“I celebrate her existence everyday and am so incredibly grateful to have the best Angel looking over me,” she concluded the essay.

In conclusion, the power of vulnerability in writing cannot be understated. When students are able to tap into their true emotions and share their experiences openly and honestly, it creates a deep and lasting connection with their audience. It is through this vulnerability that we are able to learn from one another, gain a deeper understanding of the human experience, and find comfort and healing in shared stories.

The Essay That Made My English Teacher Cry

Table of Contents

Introduction 

The Power of Personal Writing: We all have pivotal moments in our lives – events and experiences that shape who we are.  Putting these moments into words, especially at a young age, can be incredibly challenging yet rewarding. This is the story of how a personal essay I wrote in high school elicited an unexpected reaction from my English teacher. Through vivid details and raw emotion, my article on losing my father to cancer moved my teacher to tears. This experience taught me the power of heartfelt writing in expressing grief, inspiring strength and empathy, and forging human connection.

Chapter 1:  The Assignment That Started It All 

The Seeds of My Essay Are Planted It was the Spring of my junior year and the last assignment in my AP English Language class. For the final essay, my teacher, Ms. Thompson, told us we could write about any personal experience that has significantly shaped our lives. I stayed up that night, sifting through memories, moments, and milestones. Then it hit me – the most painful yet transformative event was undoubtedly my father’s battle with lung cancer. His diagnosis when I was 14, followed by the grueling treatments, his inspiring strength, and ultimately his death just before my 16th birthday.

Brainstorming the Outline 

I started by jotting down memories and moments that stood out from my dad’s cancer journey. His initial diagnosis, telling me he was proud of me throughout treatment, gifting me his watch when he went into hospice care, and our final goodbye hug. I noted the sights, smells, and conversations word for word. I wanted to immerse readers fully in those difficult yet precious times. After compiling pages of notes, I made an outline categorizing everything into a narrative arc highlighting my dad’s diagnosis, treatment, Final goodbye, and death. This Outline became my roadmap.

Why This Topic? 

Writing has always been cathartic, a way to process emotions and make sense of experiences. I also wanted to honor my dad and share a glimpse into the incredible person that he was. Most importantly, relating the universal experience of losing a parent could help readers going through similar grief feel less alone. By bravely sharing my vulnerability, I aimed to inspire strength and comfort in others.

Chapter 2:  Crafting the Essay 

Pulling Together the First Draft Staring at the blinking cursor on the blank Word document, I was initially overwhelmed . How could I possibly translate profound grief into words on a page? Where do I even start? I took a deep breath, referred to my Outline, and recounted memories. The day my dad first told me about his stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis. The exhaustion in his eyes after radiation and chemo sessions. He’d proclaim his inspiring mantra, “We can and we will!” after vomiting from treatments.

The scenes flowed one after another, transporting me back to those difficult moments. I found myself sobbing as I typed, almost reliving the experiences. After hours of typing furiously with tears streaming down my face, I had a five-page first draft chronicling my dad’s cancer battle. It was raw, honest, and Only the beginning.

The Revision Process 

I let the essay marinate for a few days before rereading it with fresh eyes. With more objectivity, I could see areas that needed refinement and reworking. Some scenes required more specifics, while others got bogged down in unnecessary details. With my teacher’s feedback and countless rounds of editing, I chiseled away, shaping the essay into a sculpted story. I focused on striking a balance between being descriptive yet concise emotive yet subtle. After about two weeks of working iteratively, I had crafted a powerful 2000-word personal narrative I was ready to share.

Chapter 3:  Presenting My Essay 

The Moment of Truth On the last day of our English class, all students presented our final essays in front of the course and Ms. Thompson. Adrenaline pumping, I volunteered to go first. I was incredibly nervous, hands shaking as I stood before my peers, clutching my essay on crumpled notebook paper. I cleared my throat and dove in, returning to the memories that inspired my writing. My voice quivered, describing my dad’s hospice care and death, but I pressed on, determined to make it through.

A Powerful Reaction 

Glancing up occasionally, I gauged my teacher’s and fellow students’ reactions as I read. Most sat silently, a few dabbing tears from their eyes. As expected, reliving my dad’s death elicited an emotional response. What I didn’t expect, however, was the reaction when I finished. Ms. Thompson, typically reserved and stoic, was quietly crying, tears streaming down her cheeks. The room fell silent until she suddenly stood up and hugged me, sobbing into my shoulder. I was in sheer disbelief. This essay struck an emotional chord, and her unusually vulnerable reaction moved me.

Praise and Positive Feedback 

When Ms. Thompson finally composed herself, she praised me. She said that was the most moving, well-written essay she had ever read from a student. She loved the juxtaposition depicting my dad’s strength and perseverance despite his declining health. The way I wove in sensory details to fully immerse readers in the most impactful scenes. And how the linear structure smoothly flowed, bringing readers on my grief journey with me. Her effusive praise and equally effusive tears in front of classmates left me proud.

Chapter 4:  Reflecting On My Essay’s Impact 

An Unexpected Connection through Grief While I set out to write this essay for personal healing and to honor my dad, I formed a special connection with Ms. Thompson. She later told me that she also lost her dad to cancer when she was a teenager. My essay brought up those feelings of grief she still carries today. By eloquently relaying my own experience, my writing resonated on a profoundly personal level with her. We formed a unique student-teacher bond built on shared grief and the human experiences that unite us all.

Writing as Healing 

Beyond making a lasting impression on Ms. Thompson and earning an easy A in her class, the experience of writing this essay taught me so much. About grief, about growth, about connecting to others through vulnerability. Translating emotions and memories into words forces you to process and better understand them. Like carefully examining each artifact found amongst rubble and debris. Sorting through the painful shards allows you to rebuild better. That’s what this essay provided me – a way to sift through grief, find meaning, and rebuild after loss.

This essay also reminded me that openly sharing our stories, no matter how difficult, can inspire remarkable strength and empathy in others. Human experiences, no matter how profoundly unique, still contain universal threads that weave us together. Pull one, and we all feel the tug. This was certainly true with Ms. Thompson. My essay tugged at the grief embedded in her heart and compelled an emotional response. By generously giving my words and tears to readers, I can reciprocate the comfort I found in the shared stories of others.

The Power of Personal Writing The essay about my dad’s battle with cancer will always be one of my proudest achievements.  Technically well-constructed yet emotionally resonant, it exemplified my strengths as a writer. More importantly, though, it served as a cathartic vessel carrying my grief, a way to honor my dad’s life, and a piece inspiring empathy and understanding in others. The unexpectedly powerful reaction from my English teacher is something I will remember forever. Her tears watered the seeds of healing planted by this essay and cultivated emotional connections blossoming from difficult experiences. This taught me that courageously sharing our personal stories helps make the vast human experience feel less lonely. And that is something magical.

Meg Dowell Writes

I didn’t learn how powerful my words could be until i accidentally made a teacher cry.

When I was a freshman in high school, one of our English assignments was to write a poem about whatever we wanted. So I wrote one about (as far as I can remember) how important it was to appreciate our teachers.

We read our poems aloud to the class. And when I read mine, my English teacher had a hard time composing himself for a second after I had finished.

It wasn’t at all my intention to make a grown man weep. I swear it wasn’t. I wasn’t thinking at all about how he would react to the words on that page. I just had an idea for a poem and wrote it and shared it with the room.

But maybe that was the problem — that I wrote something emotionally charged (in this case, in a positive way) and didn’t consider how my audience might respond to it.

Apparently I unintentionally wrote something that meant a lot to him that day. I don’t remember exactly what the poem said or the message it might have sent his way. But I do remember the very important lesson that experience taught me: Your words can affect people, whether you mean them to or not.

And yes, this applies in the negative sense as well. Words can hurt. We all know this, even if we don’t always consider it before speaking/tweeting/hitting send.

But right now I’m referring to the inspirational impact your words can have. The emotional connections they can make between people, or between your readers and yourself.

As writers, we spend a lot of time in our heads. And sometimes this means we don’t always see how the things we publish can influence the people around us in a positive way. But they can. I’ve been publishing a lot of stuff on Medium lately, and they’re literally just essays about my life, but it still surprises me when people highlight their favorite passages and thank me for being insightful and helping them see things in new ways.

I don’t ever really mean to do that. It just kind of happens, because I’m a human and humans are reading what I write and even though we don’t all experience the same things in the same ways, we all have the same emotions and we all understand certain feelings often portrayed in each others’ writing.

I’m not saying you should go out and try to make people cry. Like, why would you do that? But do keep in mind that your words really do matter. They have the potential to reach a lot farther and deeper than you often might expect them to. Be careful with them. But also don’t hesitate to, as much as you can, set them free.

When you actively choose to publish something, there is ALWAYS  a chance that someone will resonate with it. You’re willingly taking that risk, willingly serving as a potential channel through which someone receives a message they’ve really been needing to hear.

Is that a responsibility you can handle? Are you ready? Then dive in.

I appreciate your thoughts. Indeed, our words have an impact. From my teaching days of the past, I learned that my actions and words made me a daily role model in the classroom. My blog carries a similar responsibility. I hope that something published on my blog will brighten someone’s day in some small way.

The Essay That Made My English Teacher Cry

Introduction

The Essay That Made My English Teacher Cry is a remarkable phenomenon, capable of evoking strong emotions and stirring the depths of the human soul. In the realm of education, teachers often find themselves moved by the works of their students, as they witness the budding talent and heartfelt expressions of the young minds they nurture. This essay recounts a personal experience in which a simple school assignment turned into an unexpectedly emotional journey, resulting in a piece of writing that made my English teacher cry.

Table of Contents

The Assignment

It all began on a seemingly ordinary day in my sophomore year of high school. Mrs. Anderson, my dedicated and passionate English teacher, assigned us an essay project. The topic was open-ended: “Write about a significant event in your life and how it shaped you.” It was a familiar prompt, and I expected to approach it like any other assignment.

As I pondered what event to write about, one particular memory surfaced. It was a vivid recollection from my childhood – the day my family adopted a rescue dog named Max. Max, a lanky and scruffy mixed breed, had an extraordinary impact on my life and my perspective on love , compassion, and resilience. It was a story I had shared with friends and family over the years, but I had never put it into writing.

The Writing Process

I began writing my essay, delving into the details of Max’s adoption day and the subsequent years of his life with our family. My words flowed effortlessly, guided by the deep connection I had with this furry friend. I described the way his timid eyes had met mine at the shelter, the warmth of his fur against my fingertips, and the unspoken promise that we would care for him, no matter the challenges he faced.

The essay became a canvas for me to paint the colors of our shared experiences. I wrote about the day Max timidly stepped into our home, the time he tore apart my favorite childhood stuffed animal, and the countless nights he spent by my side, providing comfort during the darkest hours. My essay was a tribute to Max’s unwavering loyalty, and the life lessons he had taught me.

The Unveiling

The day of the essay submission arrived, and I handed in my heartfelt account of Max’s impact on my life. It was not my intention to evoke tears; I simply wanted to share a story that meant a great deal to me. Little did I know the profound effect my words would have on my English teacher.

Mrs. Anderson’s Reaction

A few days later, Mrs. Anderson returned our graded essays. As I received mine, I noticed that her eyes were slightly red, and she seemed unusually emotional. I wondered if I had somehow failed to meet her expectations.

She began to speak to the class about the power of storytelling and how a well-crafted narrative could move people in unexpected ways. She then confessed that my essay had deeply touched her, making her reflect on the joys and challenges of teaching.

Mrs. Anderson shared that as she read my essay, she saw not only my growth as a writer but also the growth of a young person who had learned valuable life lessons through a loving relationship with a pet. She explained how my words had reminded her of the importance of nurturing the emotional and creative aspects of her students, and how my essay had rekindled her passion for teaching.

It was at this moment that I realized the true impact of my writing. The tears in my teacher’s eyes were not tears of disappointment but rather tears of connection, recognition, and shared emotion. My essay had touched her heart, and in doing so, it had touched her soul.

The Importance of Authentic Writing

This experience taught me a valuable lesson about the power of authentic writing. When we write from the heart, we have the potential to create a profound connection with our readers. It also underscored the significance of educators who go beyond their roles as teachers to become mentors and influencers in the lives of their students.

The essay that made my English teacher cry was not a literary masterpiece or a profound work of art. It was a simple narrative about a rescue dog and the profound impact he had on my life. However, this experience illustrated that the true power of writing lies in its ability to convey genuine emotions and connect people on a deep level.

In the end, it was not just my English teacher who shed tears. My classmates, friends, and family members who read the essay also found themselves moved by the story of Max. This essay became a testament to the idea that our words have the potential to touch the hearts of others, reminding us of our shared humanity and the importance of the relationships that shape our lives. It was a reminder that sometimes, the most ordinary stories can have the most extraordinary impact.

A teen named Ryan Harman gained notoriety on TikTok after posting an essay that made her English teacher cry as well as the community at large. Ryan Harman’s post was one of many that made the platform go viral. A pen is a useful tool, though, if you want your teachers to cry. Ryan Harman did this after submitting a personal essay. She also made the decision to post it on TikTok.

What was the essay related to?

Ryan Harman, a recent West Virginia University graduate who just finished her first year of college, uploaded an essay she wrote for English class to TikTok and claimed it moved her teacher to tears. She detailed how her mother’s condition deteriorated shortly after she had graduated from high school and how she had spent the subsequent few months by her mother’s side. Ryan decided to write an essay about her mom, who died in 2022 after a battle with cancer. She explains the heart-wrenching and tragic story of her mother passing away from cancer when she was just 18 years old. 

The struggle and tough time faced by her

When Ryan graduated from high school in May 2022 and her mother was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, the essay that brought her English teacher to tears began. She lost a different aspect of herself every day starting the day she was diagnosed. She was the best mother anyone could ask for—she was strong, resilient, loving, and caring. Her mother was able to witness her graduate in a wheelchair, which was a huge accomplishment considering she rarely left the house. After that, Ryan went on a week-long beach vacation with all of her closest friends. Throughout her absence, Ryan texted her mother to update her on everything that had happened. She became very concerned when her mother stopped answering all of her texts and FaceTime calls on Friday.

When her mother’s condition became more worst

Her father informed her when she got home that things had gotten worse and they had visited the hospital where they received some unfavourable news. She entered hospice care after the tumours grew quickly and her spine had collapsed to 75% of its original size; she never got out of bed again. “I was in shock for the first few days after she entered hospice care. When I was only 18, I didn’t think my mother would pass away, the heartbreaking essay claims.

She described the subsequent weeks as her “heart shattered into a million pieces” as she tried to make the most of their remaining moments together.The most painful part of the book is when Ryan explores her mother’s agonising death and the “emptiness” she felt.

The entire world cried

After publishing the essay on his TikTok, Ryan only received positive feedback. Over 20,700 comments have been left in appreciation. I’m crying so hard right now, you’re so brave, someone said. I’m sure your mother is incredibly proud of you. Someone else remarked, “I was just crying. It’s wonderful, and I’m so sorry for your loss. A third person wrote, “I cried so much, it’s so good. TikTok is in tears. People on TikTok have also been overcome with emotion while watching Ryan’s teacher read the moving essay. A commenter said, “I can’t stop crying.” “I’m sobbing,” a third person said. Another person remarked, “This has me ugly crying right now.” Others who have lost parents themselves are consoling her and offering their condolences, as well as saying how proud Ryan’s mother would be of her.

Every day, Harman tries to live up to her mother’s expectations and expresses her gratitude for having the best Angel watching over her. More than 13 million people have watched her video as of this writing, giving it nearly 2 million likes and more than 45,000 comments, one of which read: “Your English teacher is not the only one that cried.”This is incredibly well written. The video has received more than 882,500 likes and more than six million views in just two days, and for good reason.

15 Everyday Incidents That Make Even the Strongest Teachers Cry

Pass the tissues, please.

Teachers are warriors, but even the strongest among us are subject to bad days (and a whole lot of tears). Whether the source of our stress is an unsuccessful lesson plan, intense parents, rowdy students, or just bad luck, we’ve all had moments when we want throw up our arms and sob. Here are some of the top reasons teachers cry at work. 

1. When the teachers’ lounge is out of coffee …

Caffeine: the lifeblood of teachers everywhere. Without this essential chemical, even Matilda ’s Miss Honey can become a Ms. Trunchbull. A coffee shortage in the teachers’ lounge can be just as bad as a library without books.

2. When technology fails you …

The only reliable thing about classroom technology is how unreliable it is. Nothing grinds our gears—or triggers tears—like faulty technology, and if we had a nickel for every time a PowerPoint wouldn’t load, the copy machine jammed, or the printer ran out of ink, our summer vacations would be much more extravagant.

3. When you get a paper cut while handing out lesson plans …

Just because you’re teaching a class of children doesn’t mean you don’t feel like a child yourself from time to time. You never outgrow the pain of papercuts and they never stop appearing at the most inopportune times. Nothing makes a grammar worksheet fun like a smear of blood on the corner.

4. When a student tells you they hate your class …

It’s impossible not to take it personally when a student tells you they hate your class or the subject you teach. This usually results from their own lack of confidence in the subject, but every conscientious teacher will choke up a bit when they hear those words.

5. When your yogurt explodes in your lunchbox …

We love a healthy serving of dairy. And there’s nothing quite as soul-crushing as a soggy, yogurt-covered lunch. If you’re lucky, the rest of your meal will be tightly sealed and protected from yogurt-ageddon, but we all know that when it rains (yogurt), it pours.

6. When you make 30 copies of the wrong worksheet … 

On the off chance you do get the copier to work, you may be so tired or distracted in the morning that you make 20 or 30 copies of the wrong materials—or worse, copies of your grocery list. If that’s the case, prepare for a question concerning the Trader Joe’s cheese puffs and Two-Buck Chuck on your list.

7. When you have to stay late to grade papers … 

Q: If 25 students have 4 pages of homework each, how many pages does their poor teacher have to grade?

A: 100 pages.

100 pages of grading x 1 very tired teacher = tears galore

8. When lesson planning consumes your weekends …

When one unit ends, another begins. And just like that you find yourself wearing the same pajama pants from Friday evening to Monday morning. Hello, Domino’s Pizza delivery; goodbye, social life.

9. When helicopter parents give you unsolicited teaching advice …

Ah, parents. They can be your best volunteers and your worst critics—after their children, of course. It’s all too common for misinformed parents to call with unwelcome teaching advice. While they may have the best intentions, few of them have teaching degrees or have even attempted to teach long division to a class of bored fifth graders.

10. When your classroom is too small for the number of students you have …

… And you bang your shin or hip on a desk while moving around the room. Bite your tongue, teachers, and pop a window. Unless …

11. When your classroom has no windows …

There are few things more depressing than being shut inside on a beautiful spring day when you can’t even see the grass or flowers or, heck, even the rain showers outside. Sure, the great outdoors can be distracting for students, but no teacher loves feeling trapped in their own classroom. Unless, of course, that teacher is Professor Dracula.

12. When you get chalk all over your dark pants … 

You’re deep in your zone, scribbling the quadratic formula or theory of relativity on the board, and make the unconscious move to wipe your sweaty palms on your beautifully dark pants or skirt. We’d say “facepalm” if it wouldn’t result in a chalk-covered forehead.

13. When your students point out a wardrobe malfunction … 

Open flies, inside-out blouses, skirts tucked into tights—oh my! Kids can be absolutely brutal when it comes to pointing out adults’ flaws, and teachers are the perfect targets. Be sure to give yourself a once- or twice-over each time you leave the bathroom.

14. When after-school faculty meetings make you miss the latest episode of This Is Us …

Admittedly, this is a bad example because who doesn’t cry during every episode of This Is Us ? But falling behind on your favorite series, no matter what it is, is always a tragedy.

15. When you spend three weeks on a topic, and your students don’t remember anything about it …

It’s incredible how quickly students can forget what you’ve taught them—if they ever retained the information at all. Even the best teacher can feel invisible at times like this and second-guess their existence. But take heart, fellow teachers. For every tear-inducing moment, there’s something to laugh about later on—or at least a few GIFs to express just how you’re feeling.
