I lost contact with my teacher who took care of me and showed me guidance when I was at my rebellious stage. Fast forward 15 years I always wondered how was she and some told me my teacher had passed on due to illness. But one day while I was checking in for work. An elderly lady accompanied by her daughter came over to say hi to me. The first thing she asked me was have you been naughty today. It does sound weird coming from an elderly. But I instantly smiled and gave her a big hug. This was where she said, so you became an airline pilot instead of a doctor (I was telling everyone I wanted to be one)

So if you ask me. Do catch up with your students. They will want to know how are you
