I was watching the move The Curious Case of Benjamin Button the other day and was intrigued with this quote. Benjamin says of the lady who taught him to play piano:
It’s funny how sometimes the people we remember the least make the greatest impression on us.
For example, my grade three teacher at Sam Livingston Elementary in Calgary was Mrs. Thompson. I don’t remember anything about her, except her name and her face in the pink fortrel dress in my class photo. However, it was Mrs. Thompson who first encouraged me to write down my many stories, and first gave me an audience for them, as she had my share them regularly during show and tell. That encouragement was the first step on a long journey.
Who made a huge impact on your life, though you ‘remember least’ about them?
