Teacher, teacher

Tonight, I had tea with one of my elementary/middle school teachers. And I got a chance to tell her just what an impact she had on me, and how the things she taught resonated in very broad ways. And unexpected ones.

For example, she unknowingly connected me to a friend in Georgia who I met when I was 12, then reconnected with years later. If not for this teacher, I never would have met this woman. But I also wouldn't have learned -- at least not for a long while -- that not everything I did was perfect from the start. And that's good knowledge to have.

That's just the start of it, too. (I really can't overstate her awesomeness. Just so you know.)
