Have you ever had a teacher that had a positive impact on you?

Today, I had a substitute teacher and we spoke about Anime and science. It was nice, because I never had a normal conversation with a teacher before. It has always been about work.
He told me that I should speak more, that he didn't know I liked so many thing he did, and when I told him no one ever asked before, he got emotional. 🙈🙈
