21 M Reluctant to contact with my teacher from 4th grade, who helped my to come over my stutter! I'm 21 M now, I had this unique teacher back in 4th grade in 2010. She was in her first year teaching at school after graduation. She was the first person to believe in me in my entire life. I'm a stutter, she always would encourage me to participate with activites. give me the confidence to stand and consider me the best in all classes she would teach, protecting me from all the kids who were mocking at my stutter. Most students hates her and think she is cruel, but I think she was so affectionate to me, before her I was a loser(bad grades),She even chose me to be the one who represents my whole school in a language competition.She took my mother's phone number and get in touch with her for a year. And this was not usual with other children, She was like a mother to me. I was scrolling through social media today and stepped on her profile! Oh, God! It's almost has been 11 years since I was in 4th grade. I brusted in tears, remembering how she was nice to me! God! How I could have forgetten her all these years? I wasn't sure if hers or not, but I continued reading her posts. Then, I ensured its her ans found out through her posts she is married and have one kid. I want just to get in touch with her and just saying! Thank you! You have a great impact in my life! Does she still remembring me after all these years? Will she be okay or happy if I get in touch with her? I'm so reluctant about this, Idk why! Any kind of help guys?
