One of my happiest moments was when a former student told me that I had ruined her life.
In the early days of retirement, every college professor reflects and wants to believe they made a difference for the students who came through their classrooms during their career. Sometimes the students take the time to tell us. One of my students told me—joyfully—that I ruined things for her because she now sees herself in a way that makes it impossible to have the same conversations with family and friends that she used to have before she took my class. Something changed in her forever. What changed? She now sees herself in history, and she cannot un-see herself in this way.
