I was out delivering furniture today like everyday until I got to this one building and the client was my first elementary school teacher. I recognized her pretty fast even that she got older but I don’t think she knew me tho.

She was one of the few teachers who was kind to me maybe because I was good at math, and that she lectured. When I saw her today, it caught me off guard and I just froze and didn’t tell her who I was. Not because I don’t work hard or do a honest job but it felt like telling her who I was would maybe disappoint her because she had big hopes for me.

I just kept my mouth shut and helped bring in the furniture, said thank you, and left. Maybe she would’ve been proud to see me working and doing something honest. She probably would even know my name.

TL;DR: Delivered furniture to my first elementary school teacher but didn’t tell her who I was because I didn’t want to disappoint her and her big hopes of me.

It’s been eating me wondering if I should have said something.
