Today I met my lower school principal!

When I say lower school, I meant elementary school. I haven't seen her in years, so I asked if she remembered me. She asked me for my name.... And then exclaimed, "Oh how's your mom?!"

She remembers how much my mom helped out the school during my elementary years. This is also during the time when she was building her career, and we were relatively new immigrants to the country. She and mom spoke to each other in Tagalog and built their connection that way.

We talked about our families and how they're doing, and she invited me back to school sometime. I'm inclined to take her invite, since I've not been in a while.
