I never had a crush on Kevin...Winnie? Just a bit. I'm flattered about the fact that your mancub thinks I'm cool. Boy, I sure do have him faked out, don't I?<br /><br />Janelle - Makes you think of that song from "Wicked" doesn't it? I listen to it and am reminded of many people in my own past whose paths have crossed mine.<br /><br />Lori - It's always a treat when they do decide to stop by for a visit. It's like Christmas in the middle of the year.<br /><br />MBGITWWR - It is good to reflect every now and again, isn't it?<br /><br />Bonnie - Don't remind me! My first class just graduated and one of my students is engaged. Of course, it'll be 11 more years before I'd get any of their kids...<br /><br />Lars - That is true. I still think about some of my teachers who've affected my life.<br /><br />Corine - I - at times - am reminded of memories of our growing up. Then again, there are many that I don't remember. It's always good to reconnect with good friends and be reminded of some of those moments of timespace.<br /><br />Sarah - Did I use well-good incorrectly? I probably did. A curse upon me! <br /><br />You're right though, visits are always great to have.Teachinfourthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624243991120542485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-28048370543915591862010-02-05T21:17:12.875-07:002010-02-05T21:17:12.875-07:00Man, some visit from the past can be great and som...Man, some visit from the past can be great and some can be...not so great. It's wonderful that this visit turned out so well, I'm SURE there are other students out there that are doing well.

It always amazes me how my mind can forget so many memories, and yet the results of those memories somehow live on forever, even after the memories have faded away to a stubble. <br /><br />And, I LOVE the statement you made, that you "only hope that they had all turned out... good." :) I laughed out loud when I read that, because that is what runs through my mind when I reminisce over old friends.<br /><br />:) Thanks for sharing.Corine Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353150427363546277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-427372732452636522010-02-02T20:57:32.392-07:002010-02-02T20:57:32.392-07:00Sometimes people come into other lives and are onl...Sometimes people come into other lives and are only there for a brief moment, but they cause a chain reaction or a catalyst if you will. You don't see the longevity you have on your students but it is there and it will continue to be there, even when you depart this earth. That is what makes teachers legends, the way in which they connect with impressionable minds and forever change their lives.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12773147503330733022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-74593341551171484052010-02-02T19:39:49.021-07:002010-02-02T19:39:49.021-07:00Those students go on and get married, have childre...Those students go on and get married, have children that you end up teaching, making you feel older than dirt.

Thanks for the post. It's good to reflect on the past at times. I've been doing that quite a bit this week.
