Wow! That is amazing! We should all hope we could leave a legacy such as you surely will.
My mother was an elementary school teacher and I have had some feedback that at least a few of her students remembered her with fondness.
It’s often quite fun. I hope to make an impact, not so much on a personal level like “being remembered” but in more of a “helped to shape them” way. It wouldn’t bother me if they didn’t remember me, as long as they remembered the books and movies, and what they meant. I pick stories with morals, and emphasize the morals. I’m (obviously) not interested in the modern grievance/diversity culture. I like stories that are about basic right vs wrong, and noble attributes like keeping your promises, or doing the right thing. Making wise decisions.
