In middle/high school? No. Back then, nobody gave a damn about me, teachers included. To them, I was little more than an inconvenience.


However, I had a teacher at my community college that showed me an ounce of compassion when I needed it. It was last winter, I was forced to walk to school in cold weather every day because I don't have a car. She saw me walking every day wearing only an old coat and no other winter gear. I couldn't afford a good coat at the time. She bought me some good winter gear, including some thermal shirts, a better coat, some gloves, and a hat. I can't lie, I was touched. I nearly broke down in her office in fact.

I guess not everybody is a complete asshole in the world.
