She never got the chance to stand at the front of her first classroom — but Blake Shelton just made sure her dream echoes across America. Katherine Ferruzzo was only 18 when the Texas floods took her life, leaving behind a quiet but fierce wish: to teach children with special needs. In her college essay, she’d written one line that could stop your heart — “I want to teach the kids the world doesn’t see.” When Blake stumbled across those words, he didn’t just read them… he felt them. Without fanfare, without an announcement, he sat down and poured them into a song — Still Teaching — a tender ballad that now carries Katherine’s voice to places she never lived to see.

And when the chorus comes, it’s not just Blake Shelton singing — it’s Katherine, speaking straight to the soul.
