Many of my 2116 posts begin with "I was a teacher". Many times I am surprised to meet a former student after many years. It is a great gift to be able to meet someone that I taught many years ago and have a good visit.
A surprising and thrilling meeting took place Thur. evening when I was at a naturalists meeting. The meeting was over and I was ready to leave when a woman came up and introduced herself.
She was a former student and had become a teacher and gone into school administration. She had come back to the school district she grew up in and taught with some of her former teachers. And she just retired recently!
I knew that she was an administrator in the district but I never bumped into her.
We had a great visit reminiscing about our lives and school experiences. By the time we were finished there were very few people left in the hall.
The bonus was that her Dad was the curriculum supervisor in my area. So I caught up with what her Dad had been doing. I had not seen her Dad since 1997 as far as I can remember.
Meeting up with former students is a treat. Meeting up with former students is a gift that keeps on giving. You never know who you're going to meet next.
