Thank an old teacher

In this era of rampant e-stalking, being able to easily find the contact details of old acquaintances can be used for good as well as evil. For instance, you can send a teacher - anonymously if you have a fear of social interaction - a belated thank-you. This doesn't have to be a high school history teacher or a college writing professor; it can be a coach, tutor, the family friend who taught you to play the recorder, or the neighbor kid who was the first to show you how to ride a skateboard. As supremely talented and perfect as you are, you most likely didn't spring forth that way from the womb. So it's a nice gesture to thank someone who was influential, in however small a way, during your formative years.


Effort involved: a few minutes to look up an address, a few minutes to write a note. Simple!
