She walks in every morning, passing out smiles and hellos. Each day class starts out upbeat and positive, and everyone she comes in contact with has a chance for a great day. As much as I value her positive attitude, how could I help but share my own. As I read this, I thought of Madison, a student in my homeroom. She walks in every morning, passing out smiles and hellos.

Essentially, "connectors," as Gladwell dubs them, have the ability to affect change on people around them by their mood. Studies Gladwell points to actually support the idea, so we as teachers can in fact impact our classes' mood significantly.
