Mrs. Himmell has been my favorite high school teacher since my freshman year. She's told me I remind her of another one of her favorite students, and I'm worried that once I graduate I won't be anything as special anymore. I know I'm not really special to her, but I just want to be one of her favorites. I know that I won't forget her, and I'm afraid I'll be lost to the endless new years of students coming and going, and she'll forget me.
I at least hope that in a few years she gets a student that reminds her of someone and she goes through her old emails trying to figure out who it is, and she discovers that it's me. I don't want to be irrelevant or forgotten. I want to be on the list of students she remembers well, looking back with nostalgia.
