yesterday, a high school teacher of mine celebrated his birthday. being the good facebook friend slash student that i am, i posted a message on his wall. he replied that i had made his day, making me smile. it felt good to tell someone that they had made an impact on me. just for the fact that i'll always know they knew. i think i'd like to do this more often. afterall, i would be speechless and grateful if someone ever told me (years later) that i had done something that impacted them in a positive way.
so what i'm trying to say is, i credit dr. thompson for making me a better writer in high school. but i also remember his class because he played music during our daily guided writing time and liked us "band" people. (he played the trumpet in school). he was challenging, but fair and helpful. and i always respected him. so yea, tell someone who wouldn't expect it something memorable they did that has always stuck with you. they'll appreciate it. and it'll make you happy too.
