Randomly picked up a tax return today and started working on it. When I got to the mother of the family, I looked at the name and it sounded oddly familiar. I know this name from somewhere.
I thought and thought, but couldn't remember where I knew that name from. Then I sifted through the file. The first thing I saw...YCDSB.
This woman was one of my high school teachers. Grade 12 calculus.
I'm willing to bet that this teacher would still remember me. (Over the years, it appears that there are a lot of teachers/people that know of me, and I never knew.) But regardless, I definitely remember her.
She was a great teacher. I'd say one of the best that I've ever had. She taught calculus, but I clearly remember her helping students with physics and other subjects. A very gentle and caring person who always had a big smile on her face. And, hence, she went on to be a counselor in addition to a teacher.
Back then, I looked at this lady and thought she was probably pretty old. It turns out she's retired from being a teacher now, but still doing work on her own.
Amazing how small the world is.
Amazing how people are connected.
Amazing how nice it is think about the good old days, when life was simple.
