Today my favourite English teacher in secondary school visited our store. Even after 18 years he still recognised me. He was the only teacher who himself showed his enthusiasm of reading for fun. He was always telling us about the books he'd read. He was also the one teacher who didn't mind it if you wanted to read a book that wasn't on the school's reading list as long as he had read it himself or was interested in reading it. He was the one who motivated me to read in English.
I told him this and that he's the reason I now have a 100+ book a year reading habit. He really liked hearing this and he told me that was the reason he was always telling us about the books he read and the fact that it made me a reader was worth the effort.
