My high school teacher never liked me and most of the time she ignored me and the times she didn’t, looked at me like I’m a loser.
I didn’t do very well on the big exams (similar to sat) and after few tears I served in the army, I did some courses to raise my grades.
These exams happen to be in my high school with all the 12th graders, and so I was sitting there and waiting for the exam to start and then I saw her peaking from the door after years I didn’t see her.
She got in and called my name with a huge smile on her face saying “I knew I would see you here some day”.
I’ll never forgot this mean smile and I have to say, this smile really helped me on hard times at the university. It kept me motivated.
This was 13 years ago and today I have a bs.c. In computer science and working at as technical team lead in a big software company, managing engineers.
I sometimes remembering this and smile to myself. I don’t think she knows what I’m doing today, but the fact that I know I made it, gives me comfort
Not sure how to explain it, but this is exactly the photo I would expect IT people to post on their community lol.
