Teachers have a good memory

Yesterday was a very interesting day for me.

I went to a seminar on Reading Remediation in Ateneo, together with two co-teachers. Prior to the seminar, I didn't bother to go over the brochure my boss showed me. I just fill out the seminar form and had her sign it.

Our way to Ateneo was smooth-sailing. I was kinda sleepy and hungry, since I wasn't able to eat breakfast at home. At around 8am, we arrived at the venue. I ate a proper breakfast and had coffee. By 9am, our speaker arrived. And to my surprise, it was Mrs. Faicol, my NURSERY teacher in San Beda Alabang (back when it was still Benedictine Abbey School). Needless to say, I was shocked. 

She didn't recognize my face immediately, but when I introduced myself, she was utterly shocked too! She was at a loss for words and I couldn't stop smiling. I was so excited to meet her again after so many years. I suddenly remembered my nursery days. Back when nap time was part of the schedule haha!What amazed me even more is that she still knows pretty much everyone of my classmates back in nursery, which was almost 20 years ago. She even remembers my mom!

I should have read the seminar brochure so I could show her my class picture back in nursery, which I still keep in a safe place in my room. She would probably be even more speechless! My biggest regret though is not having our picture taken, for old time's sake. Oh well, maybe next time. 'Til I see you again, Mrs. Faicol!

P.S.
I'll scan the nursery class picture on Monday hihi :)
