Is it weird to email your old teachers? I had this teacher in high school who I had junior and senior year and he was so sweet. He’s such a kind soul and he wrote me my recommendation letter but I didn’t wanna email him and make him uncomfortable.

No! I see one of my high school teachers often, including at the pool (he lives in my neighborhood and we have a community pool 🥴 wouldn’t be my first choice location LOL) but he loves to check in on my college and professional journey, especially because he taught literature and I studied digital media and do lots of PR writing in my job. It’s sweet to send a thank you email to give them updates and wish them well. Lets them know they’re appreciated and are doing well in developing students

Also for my college profs who wrote my recommendation letters, when I got my first job post grad I sent them thank you emails and said specifically how their class is translating to my real life work
