Bet you can still name your favorite grade school teacher, but can’t name the person who was Mayor back then! It’s one of the most important jobs in the world. A letter of appreciation is the least we can do for these unsung heroes!
Several years ago I dug around the internet and found the address and phone number of my high school English teacher back in New York City in the 50’s. She was in the right place at the right time and pushed me in the right direction. My life wouldn’t have been the same but for her. Well, I called her at her retirement home in Florida to thank her for “bending this twig”. We were both overcome with the emotion of knowing how one simple decision, one simple act, can ripple through another’s life.
By all means take a few minutes call someone who has made a difference in your life and let them know it.

If I were a teacher, I know I’d appreciate a letter.

What a great idea! As a teacher, I love when I get an email from a former student who updates me on their life. It makes my day!:-)

If i were a teacher it would be great to hear from a former student that u haven’t heard from for a long time.
