[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1692039, member: 40335"] Your 100% right there Chevy. I happened to run into her and her husband over 30 years ago at a shopping mall. The town that I grew up and went to school at was very small back then. A population of around 450. The entire school might have been around 150 bodies if you counted kindergarten through the 12th grade. Even then you would have to include all the teachers to reach the number of 150. Because it was such a small town (group of people) Everyone who lived there pretty much knew everything that went on. And we're more like family than anything else. Miss Yates husband was always helping coach us kids outside of school from pee wee baseball through babe ruth. Along with every other events that goes along with growing up. Their son and I were pretty close to the same age. So we were like brothers. I still to this day see Miss Yates son who is a farmer, he has Turkey houses and cattle. Called him just the other day and ask what he was doing. Said he was talking with his Mother then. Heard him tell her it was me calling. I told him would call back latter so that he could visit with that young lady. Heard her in the back ground laughing about me calling her a young lady. So when I ran into Miss Yates and her husband 30 + years ago. I made it a point that day to thank her even that far back for all she had done for me growing up. I know she appreciated knowing how i felt about everything she had done back then. Little did I know 30 + years ago when i thanked her then just how much more what she had done, taking that special interest and time not only for me but all of her students that she taught during her career would play into the way my life and i am sure the others she taught would turn out even to this day. I don't think teacher's in general including my Miss Yates take into consideration just how much of a difference wether it be good or bad they will make in that students life. I am sure my Miss Yates probably wasn't thinking entirely about the difference she would end up making in the kids who she taught lives. I think she probably just wanted to be the best at what she had choose to be and that choice was to be aTeacher ! I was just lucky enough to of had her as my teacher. From the first day of kindergarten when i ran away from her only an hour or so after having met her. She never gave up on me for the rest of the years i had her for a Teacher lol !!! [/QUOTE]
