A former student writes a letter to their 6th grade teacher updating them on their life. The student is now a junior in college studying psychology with the goal of attending medical school after graduating. They credit the teacher's class with sparking their interest in social sciences and remember fondly learning about history topics and literature like the Odyssey under the teacher's instruction.

Hi, Ms. Fischer! I hope everything is going well! It has been a long time since I was in your 6th grade class. I
was actually going to send you a letter earlier this year to thank you for being an amazing, inspiring teacher,
but I guess you had moved on from HUES by then. Anyway, I am a junior in college at the University of North
Carolina Wilmington. I am studying psychology (I think it was in your class that I learned that I loved social
sciences/studies). I am hoping to go to medical school after graduating. I have also gotten a lot better at writing
haha. I remember how challenging it was back in the day, but now I am a writing tutor. Thank you for being
one of my all-time favorite elementary schoolteachers! I wish I could go back to learning about Mesopotamia
and memorizing MLK's "I Have a Dream" Also, I read the Odyssey again last summer for another class.
Surprisingly, I remembered a lot from when we read it. Definitely one of my favorite pieces of classical
literature! Take care! Nathan Liu
