<p>I would like to keep in touch with some of my high school teachers. How can I do that without seeming awkward? I don't want to add them on FB, but would email be sufficient?</p>
<p>Do any of you guys keep in touch with high school teachers? Any advice?</p>
<p>Why would you wanna do that? Did you actually enjoy your hs years?</p>
<p>^ don’t most people enjoy their high school years? </p>
<p>yeah, I’ve kept in touch with one of my teachers, who I was kind of close to because I was in several of his classes and he spent a lot of time helping me with my research project. I still email him occasionally; he’s a young guy, very friendly and funny and a lot of the students in my grade keep in touch with him. I came from a close-knit hometown and most people go back and visit the high school and say hi to the teachers over breaks.</p>
<p>yeah, definitely don’t add him/her on fb, that might get awkward…just email.</p>
<p>^^^^^^ enjoying hs years!!! Lol!!!</p>
<p>I don’t come from a particularly small town but I was close to a few of my teachers and I’m planning to keep in touch with them. I’ve talked to them on pretty personal levels, though, and they’ve encouraged me to keep them updated via email/visits.
Like Alix2012 said, though, I wouldn’t add them on facebook.</p>
<p>I already have one that I email back and forth. And our school has a policy of allowing students to add teachers and facultys only once you’ve graduated. This English teacher that I go back and forth with through emails is actually funny physically and supportive. I’ll def. be staying in touch with him. :D</p>
<p>I think that you can go back to your high school straightly to see your teachers. On one hand, it’s more respective for your teachers to be greeted. On the other hand, they will consider that you are the most impressive student in their teaching life. Oh, don’t forget to bring some snacks, such as, cakes, candy and drinks. Also, it’s a good idea to visit your teachers on Happy Teacher’s Day. You can bring your hand-made card to them to show your mind.</p>
<p>I didn’t like most of high school. I was confused and upset for most of it. I had a romantic interest in one of my teachers that I never quite got over. I think I learned a lot though. I’m successful and focused now, so I think the misery of high school was worth the learning experience.</p>
<p>@ Manh75 You see, you and I aren’t that different. W’re two miserable brats</p>
<p>^ add me in. ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, see, I am not miserable. I grew up. I got my priorities straightened out and live my life in a way that makes me happy. I think it is very easy to get caught up in the nonsense and immaturity of high school though.</p>
<p>I will give you one thing, though: You have to be a little bit of a weirdo to post on CC.</p>
<p>EDIT: Maybe I should add that I am no longer in high school…</p>
<p>Manhattan75, were you more motivated to score accomplishments once you were out? I’m really looking forward to that given how much I’ve learned through these years and to eventually apply.</p>
<p>@ Mnh75- I’m 20</p>
<p>@Eagle- LOL!!! :)</p>
<p>There should be a group of circle with three of us in it. Haha</p>
<p>I had zero motivation to do anything productive in high school until my senior year. I was fat and held a horrible academic standing.</p>
<p>At the end of junior year I decided I wanted to get this straightened out. My grandfather - who was a combat vet - just died and I received the flag from his funeral. It really made me feel stupid being his legacy. I decided that I was not ready for college and that I would need to do something to set me straight. I enlisted in the Marine Corps.</p>
<p>Now, my recruiter would not just take a fatty because I could not pass the Initial Strength Test to ship to boot camp. So over the summer, I worked out with him five mornings a week and ate healthy. I was in great shape by Christmas and had a blast senior year with my new confidence and sense of direction.</p>
<p>I shipped to boot camp after graduating. I spent two months in training until I got a strange virus that resulted in complications with my digestive system. I was in the hospital and then the evaluation holding platoon for a couple more months. The Navy (they do medical for USMC - the USMC is a department of the Navy) eventually decided that it was for the Convenience of the Government (CoG) that I be discharged and given a waiver to return to the military if I wanted to - a move I am still sort of considering. I really liked recruit training and the military lifestyle.</p>
<p>When I returned, I got a part-time job as a recruiter at a market-research company. I retained my boot camp work ethic and I was promoted to my current management position. I am 19, I am the youngest person at my company, and I have about 15 people working under me, most of whom have college degrees. It was a rough road to get to where I am, but I feel more independent than any of my friends at college.</p>
<p>The only problem is that I have a lot of time doing nothing these days - so I end up on CC…</p>
<p>I plan on going to college in the fall though.</p>
<p>Aww, very touching story.</p>
<p>You should really post that here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/465387-success-stories-bad-hs-record-w-great-college-record-19.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/465387-success-stories-bad-hs-record-w-great-college-record-19.html</a></p>
<p>No thanks. I don’t have a college record.</p>
<p>Maybe when you have a college record? :)</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>You read it already. What do you care?</p>
<p>There were a couple ■■■■ teachers in my high school.</p>
