my old 3rd grade teacher

Last night I had a great experience that inspired me. As I was driving by, I saw a lady walking that looked just like my 3rd grade teacher, so I stopped, and it was her. We had a great discussion about teaching, and how it was "back in the day" when she first arrived in Califoria. It was amazing to hear some of her interesting stories, especially since she actually started her teaching in Long Beach at our school. She has inspired me to do some more research about race here in California, especially in years past. I have always wanted to write about something like that, and she gave me a great idea. It was such an exciting moment in my life! I hope one day that'll happen to me with one of my students. She taught me 30 years ago. Wow!
