HOWEVER... when you talk about passing on what you learned from your parents, or from your own life, that I do understand. I have no children, but as an English teacher, I've had a chance to contribute a little, at least, to about 2,000 children so far. And I have developed a curriculum of classic novels that is very rooted to my own values and my parents and grandparents, so... the way you said that makes sense to me.

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.
