This is a new series I wanted to try based on the daily suggestions given in the Jetpack App in my phone. My goal is to get better in blogging and keeping it recurring!

Which person had the biggest impact on your life?

2025-12-30

While answering this with “my parents,” “my wife,” or “my first boss” might sound easy, I wanted to use this prompt to think deeply about a specific kind of person who really influenced my life.

My teachers

Last week I attended a “pre-Christmas” party in my hometown and met two of my former teachers there. While reflecting on them, I admitted to myself that they are two of the very few teachers who had an everlasting impression on me. They not only did their job 9-5, but they really cared about the things they aimed to teach.

Both of them offered after-school activities centered around the outdoors, nature, and bees. What I learned there was super impactful to me and was way more than you usually learn.
