Single mum misses class to look after baby, her professor’s response will amaze you
A single mother studying Therapeutic Recreation at the University of Tennessee, Morgan King is often juggling many tasks at once. The 21-year-old is the proud mom of a little girl named Korbyn, and, according to Bored Panda, works at a restaurant to support her when she’s not studying.
On June 14, when she couldn’t find anyone to take care of Korbyn and had to miss an important class, Morgan wrote to her professor to apologise. Her professor, Dr Sally B Hunter, wrote back an email that is now winning hearts on social media.
Read her touching response below:

After Morgan missed a class quiz and assignment because she couldn’t find childcare for Korbyn, her professor offered to take care of the baby in class. “I’m very serious with this offer – just bring Korbyn with you!” wrote Dr Hunter.
Morgan was so touched by her offer that she posted a screenshot on Twitter, where it has gone massively viral.
Hunter, in turn, said she was humbled by the responses on Twitter and that she was simply doing what she thought was right.
Update: I just went to email my professor to let her know I posted her email and it went viral but she beat me to it! Hahaha #twitterfamous pic.twitter.com/4n8EEc0zux
