Happy birthday! When a teacher is enthusiastic about lighting up young minds and hearts and the subjects being taught, the students catch that enthusiasm and feel seen. They remember those gifts for a lifetime - what a great affirmation/validation to receive that note from the student!

It sounds like you are an amazing teacher. I was a teacher for 43 years and before that I was a camp counselor starting with the YMCA when I was 15. Kids are the best!! And it's a gift to have a chance to see their potential and help each individual child nuture their strengths and support areas that are challenging. It sounds like you did that Phisto.

Happy Birthday! A snippet in your honor, my apologies to Herman Melville and the noble Queequeg:

“And this literary tattooing had been the work of a not yet departed prophet and seer of his island, who, by those hieroglyphic marks, had written out on his Substack a complete theory of the heavens and the earth, and a mystical treatise on the art of attaining truth; so that Phisto in his own proper person was a riddle to unfold; but whose mysteries not even himself could read. And these mysteries were therefore destined in the end to moulder away with the living parchment whereon they were inscribed, and so be unsolved to the last."
