My high school teachers
really made a lasting impression on me
because, well, one,
I still text them to this day.
I have random updates, like,
I got into grad school, I'm graduating,
I got a job, you know,
just like little random stuff,
I ask them how they've been,
it just feels good to know
that they're proud of me,
and I just like, I like letting them know
that they made such an impact on my life.
I trusted them,
and I knew that they cared about me,
and they wanted what was best for me.
It just makes me want to be that person for someone
because my teachers were always there for me.
