Fourth Grade - pt 3 Life Lesson Understanding Attraction

I will tell you one thing, I had the biggest crush on my fourth grade teacher! Woo boy, I sure did. She had student taught while I was in the third grade, and was hired as a full time teacher when I was in fourth grade. She even was assigned to fifth grade the next year, and I had her two years in a row! It was destiny!

Of course, I knew it was impossible, but what I realize now is what things I learned from her about what I am attracted to. She was a confident and strong woman. She was generally happy, and had a warm presence about her. I know I always enjoyed being around her and I took every opportunity I could. I was of course a little suck up, which is why I am sure I got to sit next to Annie in her class.

Miss French was just amazing. She was a great listener and a great teacher. However, it is her strong personality and her jovial spirit that I will credit her with that has been added to my attraction list.

Because of my infatuation with my teacher, I realize the importance of these traits to me. It seems that most women I have dated have had that strong personality and were at least pretty jovial around me (my friends may say different around them!). It's weird, I would have attributed that to other women later in life, but since writing this blog, I certainly know where it came from.

I am sure it was the fact that she was just out of college. She was a bit cocky, and she followed the same kids for three years. It was a recipe for success that she accepted and embraced.

I think that she carried herself with a confidence that made her more attractive. It could be that most of my teachers when I was in school were older, and because she was fresh out of college, that made her more attractive. Not sure, just know that she was, and I enjoyed being around her. I still do. If you are out there reading this blog Miss French...please know I have always thought you were sexy and attractive!
