Reconnecting with my teachers
Maybe a week later, as I was wondering if my packet made it safely, I got an email from a woman with a familiar last name. And guess what?! It was my fourth-grade teacher!! She remembered me after 23 years and said she had tried multiple times to find my contact info. She doesn’t work at that school anymore (teaches at another school now) but her friend does and passed on my letter/contact info!! 😀
Reading her email gave me such a rush of energy, excitement and gratitude! I decided I wanted to respond, but since the email had her work address and she mentioned how nice my letter to the other school was, I snail-mailed her. FOUR looseleaf pages with writing on both sides! I was in shock that I had that much to write 😀 and truly, I could’ve written more still.
23 years are a lot to fill someone in on. I also made her a bracelet. Hope my letter brings her the same joy she brought me and that she may be able to help me connect with my 3rd-grade teacher (who she is still friends with). – Susi 😀
