In the 7th grade, I once left behind a folder of stories I wrote for myself at homeroom and Mrs. Plokhooy, who was also my English teacher, returned it to me with a note: "I hope you don't mind, I read these and I REALLY enjoyed them." I am now a novelist in my mid-forties and still have this note.
