@matthewsmyth@mastodon.online Same, in fact he asked me to go into detail about my life over the last 25 years and i wrote him a nice long letter. As I wrote it i realized more and more that literally all my hobbies and interest really started in one way or another in his class in 4th grade. I always knew he had a good influence on me but wasnt till that letter it clicks just how much my entire path in life, my hobbies career, all of it, started because of him.

He was really the first teacher I ever had who was a scientist and a doctor and who could really answer my questions. Even in the 4th grade my teachers just didnt know enough for me to get good answers to all the things I wanted to know.
