The longer you're away from here the harder it is to come back. I think my longest streak without writing on Hive since 2016 was a couple of weeks. I remember it taking some real work to get back into

Great! Please tell him I said hello and I hope he's doing well!

I'm very sorry about your brother. What an interesting dream though! I really do believe those who have crossed over can visit us in our dreams. John Lennon explained it pretty plainly, "I'm not afraid

There was something almost militaristic about Mr. Morgan. His class was a little like military boot camp (in a good way). Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the blog!

There's no time limit to the prompts. You can respond to past Memoir Monday prompts at any time. Our public education system here in the US is in shambles in most cities/districts. It's interesting to

Excellent! Looking back, it was always the "tough" teachers that made the most impact with me. Mr. Schulerus sounds like an amazing teacher!

I was very lucky (and it sounds like you were too)!

He's a great guy. I don't hear from him much anymore but we have some great stories from "the old days" of crypto!

Thanks Eliana! Unfortunately, he passed away before I became successful. I like to think he still knows though.

The sense of accomplishment you must feel when you realize you've made a difference in a student's life has to be massively rewarding. You're welcome and I thank you for joining us in Memoir Monday! Have

Oh that's right! You taught a friend of mine, I believe (Oz)?

That's wonderful that you were allowed to create and not have to sit there and be bored. People who cross our paths like that are true gifts.

That seems to be the case. Standardized testing has ruined the educational system here in America. The focus has shifted to making sure everyone passes to the next grade whether they are capable it or

I, honestly, don't know how teachers handle some of the kids here in America. Some of them have never known discipline or even the meaning of the word "no". That's great that you're still in

What subject did you teach?

I'm sorry to hear the situation is similar in your country! Thankfully good people are still willing to make the sacrifice to teach. I'm happy to hear your teacher made such a positive impact on you! It's

It's insane that their value hasn't been recognized on a larger scale. In a just world they'd be making much more money and be more appreciated than they are. Maybe that will happen sooner or later. It

I think of dreams the same way, they usually contain some kind of message or guidance for us. I found this video that might have an explanation for what happens in our dream state. It's very interesting
