Seven Years Ago

This past week I ran into my high school band director!

I hadn't seen him in seven whole years! 
We were waiting in a long line a Home Depot, so we actually got about ten minutes to talk. It was so funny to see him again. We chatted about our families, and I introduced him to Brian. He introduced himself by just his first name, which was weird to me. 

He was such an awesome teacher. He held us to really high standards, he yelled and screamed at us a lot, BUT we never once questioned how much he cared about us. He encouraged us in our faith, got to know our families, and encouraged us in our goals. He is really one of the best teachers I've ever had.
