So weird!!
I left work after 8PM again (I had arrived early at 7AM today), and as I was walking back to my apartment just a few minutes ago, I run into one of our old Physics teachers, Dr. Rappaport, from Stuyvesant High School!
What a trip!!
Surprisingly, he actually remembered me and told me that he left Stuy in 2001-- a year after my class graduated (it figures that he lost hope after my wonderful class graduated). He's been teaching at a New York private school for the last few years and now he's going off to Washington D.C. to teach at an inner city school!
The New York City public school system really did a number on him, I guess. =/
He kinda rolled his eyes when I told him that I'm a marketing research consultant, but I guess he hears that a lot from us Stuy grads. =P
Dr. Rappaport also grabbed my business card, before we parted-- since I mentioned that I'm still partially involved with Stuy and I guess he still cares about improving my old high school.
Oh, the memories...
P.S. Arrrrgggg!!!!!! Happy International talk like a pirate day, ye mateys and scurvy wenches!! =)
