I Am Reflecting On My Life

I was fortunate to have some incredible teachers growing up. One particular teacher made a huge impact on me in just the few months that she was at our school. I was in the 6th grade and my best friend at the time decided i wasn't worthy of her friendship. I had few friends and felt quite alone. My teacher was encouraging and uplifting and always made me feel like she cared. One day she was moved to different school as there weren't enough kids in our class to keep her there. She offered to keep in contact with us and said we could visit anytime. I asked my mom to take me to her new school. I was very excited to see her and we exchanged addresses. I wrote to her regularly until we both moved and lost contact. I loved her so and will never forget the impact she made on my life. I often still think about her and wonder if she knew just how special she was to me.
