Miss Carter is planning to switch jobs after a long year of teaching ninth graders. On the last day of school, she is inspired to find some better clothes for a poor boy named Benjy. Benjy has worn the same clothes all year, and she wants him to wear something nicer for graduation. After a long day of searching, she is able to come up with a pair of slacks and a white shirt. When Benjy walks across the stage smiling, she vows she will never leave her job as a teacher. Finally, Miss Carter is able to see the benefits of helping her students.
