Relatable, Students, College Life and Teachers: High hopes

High hopes

By Anonymous - 28/02/2011 00:29 - United States

Today, I ran into one of my teachers from high school. When I told her I'd just recently graduated college and was starting graduate school in the fall, she said, "You don't have to lie, some people just aren't cut out for college. There's no shame." I wasn't lying, I graduated with honors too. FML

Today, I recently graduated from high school and I went to a college party. I met these girls and told them I graduated college already, to sound cool. I then heard one of them say, "I went to middle school with you, and I was in your math class." FML

Today, I've lied about my grades for three years of high school already and my mom thinks I'm a straight A student. I'm supposed to be going to college in a year. FML

Today, I ran into my favorite teacher from high school, the one that really inspired me to become one myself. I told her that I'm in my last year of college preparing to become a teacher, to which she replied, "Wow, they really are letting anyone have a crack at being a teacher these days." FML

Today, I went back to my high school for an event with some of my friends, both of which are in relationships. Whilst there we saw our favorite teacher, who hugged us and said, "I heard you have a boyfriend! And so do you!" And then she turned to me and said, "And... And you're doing great things!" FML

Today, I ran into an old student of mine at the grocery store. She didn't recognize me at first so I introduced myself as her old teacher. She looked taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Oh my God... you're still alive?" FML

Today, my high school guidance counselor tried to convince me NOT to go to college, mainly because it's been so long since someone from my high school went to college, that she got rid of all the college information she used to have. FML

Today, I excitedly told my mom how I got accepted to the master’s program of my dreams. She decided now would be a good time to proudly repeat for the millionth time how she gave up a full ride to the Ivy League to marry my father, and I ought to be a "good woman" and do the same. FML

Today, I found out I was 13th in a graduating class of about 350 students. When I told my mother, without batting an eye, she told me, "Hey, shit floats". FML

then tell her that, and also add that your degree is probably ranked a little higher than an ordinary high school teacher's degree.

if a teacher can't believe in student, they have no right teaching!

So you had what? 6 periods, and 4 years, so 24 teachers. In just that period of time, your teacher had over 700 students, and presumably has been teaching longer than that. You can't exect her to remember everyone. I had a teacher in high school that explicitly told us not to bother coming up and talking to him after we were done with his class because he wouldn't remember us.

it's sad that we usually remember the people and things that hurt us more often than those people and things that heal us.

Some people remember faces better than others, and some students will always stick in a certain teacher's memory for various reasons (good or bad).

**** that self-serving bitch...you obviously got there despite her...you should be proud of your accomplishments and give less than two ***** what a bitter teacher thinks
