Almost a year ago, I wrote a blog on Phone EtiquetteI spoke if my teacher for my communications class, Sister Kathleen Bonawitz.  When I elected to take that class, I didn't realize that it would be one of the most useful classes for my life and career. It is when I graduated that I knew I had gained immensely from that class. 

Today, I received a contact via Active Rain.  To my surprise and amazement, it was Sister Kathleen!  Her niece read my blog and forwarded it to her. She gave me a brief update on her whereabouts.  She also said she was happy to have added something to my success. 

Many times, when I am writing, I write what I truly believe and feel.  I never once thought that Sister Kathleen would see my blog.  I never actually thought that she would know how much I did indeed learn in her elective classroom. I never thought she would know how I would carry that information throughout my life, and continually use it. 

However, thanks to this fantastic forum that I am part of, Sister Kathleen knows.  I have not replied yet, I will do winkthat next.  I first wanted to share my success story with all of you. 

When blogging, write what you feel; write what you believe.  You just might receive an email from one of your favorite teachers. I just did.

It's great that you were able to be reunited.  What we must also remember is that what we write today may come back to haunt us tomorrow.

I would have loved to have had an opportunity to have spoken to my sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Kober.  I heard she passed away several years ago, unfortunately.  She taught me quite a bit back then, and I never had the chance to thank her. 

I'm sure that whatever conversation you and Sister Kathleen have will be one she will remember for a long time.

Wonderful story Ann!  Yet another reminder that you never know who may be reading.

Isn't that feeling of accomplishment great.  I imagine that seeing how you feel about her, made her week, or even her month.  Don't just email her back Ann, Call Her!

Cool! That story further exemplifies how great it is to live in the technologically advanced day and age we are in. That contact would not have be available back in the days of "Lost in Space".

  Thanks Ann!

I have only one true belief:

That's how I used to type too, before Touch Typing I with Sister Kathleen Bonawitz! I was pretty fast as well.
