She looks so gorgeous! That dress is to die for
ReplyJimmy Kimmel you are the best! i couldn’t stop crying it brought back so many memories of my 6 grade teacher who by far changed my life.
ReplyMrs. Motley was my Mrs. Abbott. She lived in the same neighborhood as my Grandparents. We went to the same church. So I got to keep her in my life. Would go see her in the nursing home every week but with covid and now the weather. I can only talk to her on the phone or get updates from her daughter.
ReplyOh. my. goodness! That was just awesome….teachers matter. And they do make a difference. Bless her and teachers all over the world. Congratulations QB the show is awesome.
ReplyShe should do a show on her experience working in the LA Apple store. I wanna hear more stories of all the wacko customers.
ReplyWhy am I crying wtf is wrong with me
ReplyOkay, this was EVERYTHING! I don’t know either of them, but I am smiling and crying simultaneously. I’ve been watching and sharing Quinta’s videos forever and always knew she’d be successful. Additionally, I think we all have our own Mrs. Abbott’s that made a difference in our lives. I am so happy she’s able to retire knowing she was such a positive influence on her students. Jimmy, I think I’m going to need a tissue too!
ReplyOmgeeee!!!!!!! And Jimmy is a REAL ONE for that blessing! Teachers deserve blessings. When she actually retires, they’re probably just going to give her a paper weight or a gold pen!
ReplyLove all of this!! Very proud of her!!
