Recent changes in the educational system have greatly affected the necessities of educators and teachers and nothing beats good equipment to navigate through. Unfortunately, not all schools are blessed with a high budget for things needed in the new normal classrooms. But since teachers are known for their ingenuity, one teacher got herself into Twitter to ask one of our country stars for assistance – The Voice coach, Blake Shelton.

Adjusting to the New Educational Needs

Knowing that Shelton has 20 million followers on Twitter, getting him to simply hit the retweet button can shower blessings to Mrs. Gressett’s needs. Apparently, it’s all the schoolteacher asked for while linking her Amazon wish list in the shout out tweet for Shelton.

Mrs. Gressett’s timing was perfect because the country star was high in dopamine due to alcohol, and with this happiness hormone activated, he did something to spread the happiness he’s feeling. He did not only retweet the schoolteacher’s post but actually went to Amazon to get it for her. “Ah hell… I’ve had a few drinks. I’ll take care of it for ya” replied Shelton.

Clearing the List

A drunk deed by the singer indeed, but nothing of it is a lost cause. That alcohol high actually became a way to teach people how it’s always possible to be both resourceful and generous even in the middle of a health crisis. Eventually, one thing led to another because not only that Mrs. Gressett got what she needed, but it actually inspired other educators to follow in her footsteps with the #clearthelist. The retweet from Blake Shelton opened opportunities for country fans to help her as she placed new items on the list that she did not include in the first batch.

The first-grader teacher then described the country star as one of the good in the world and thanked him wholeheartedly in her following tweets. Being one big family is no longer limited to Texas now. Due to the advancements in technology, the entire world became one.

Education is something children do not ought to lose in this season, so maybe consider checking out #clearthelist on Twitter while streaming country music, or maybe just like Blake Shelton, use the dopamine high from alcohol to channel your generosity towards the educators that need assistance in adjusting to the new society.
