high school high
my ten-year high school reunion is nearing and of course the anticipation of seeing all the old and familiar faces is daunting and exciting. for years now i've thought about many of my mentors from high school who really embedded my life with their graces and it is only lately that a particular teacher was discovered to be back on Guam after a chance encounter with another classmate. its amazing how much time has passed and how many have both grown and grown apart. we left high school with such optmism and with an unfathomable perception of what life would bring in the next decade. i am happy and proud to see that everyone is doing well and am delighted to be in contact with Ms. Harding again.
she was the only instructor who openly accepted my pregnancy by not being indifferent toward me. she pushed me to get my career aspirations in line so that i could get into the school i wanted to get in. and all that worked out so i have her to thank deeply.
being a teacher is such a heavy role...it is a supplemental role to the parent.
