I’m 66 and the person who shaped me most wasn’t my father or my mother, it was a history teacher named Mr. Collins who looked at me in 1976 and said “you’re capable of more than this”—and those six words rerouted my entire life because nobody at home had ever suggested that the direction I was heading wasn’t the only direction available, and I’ve built a career, a family, and a sense of self on a sentence spoken by a man I haven’t seen in 40 years
