letters to teacher
i have a story and a question- so here's the thing... i sent my former teacher two letters of appreciation, then she sent me back a thankyou letter. then, because i was so excited to get a letter from her, i sent her another letter saying thanks for replying and congrats on her new baby that she mentioned in her letter. she didn't respond, so i sent her another letter talking about random stuff and questions so she would have to reply back. when several months passed, i finally figured out that a possible reason for her not responding to my letters was that she didn't want to talk anymore. so, finally, i sent her another letter apoligizing and explaining why i kept sending her letters and how i really just wanted to talk to her and sorry for any inconvenience. so my question is do you think she's mad at me? i feel so embarrassed and there's no way for me to talk to her because she moved and even if i did have her number, i wouldn't call her or show up at her house like a stalker... this is humiliating. do you think i overdid it by sending the apology? do you think she appreciated the apology(that is if she was annoyed with the other letters- which by the way, were not anything bad) she knows me by the way, she knows i'm a good kid. she said it herself in the letter that sent me. what's your opinion? thanks!!=]]

Hi, I'm old enough to be your grandfather. I hope the wisdom of my age may be helpful to you.
You don't say if you are a guy or a gal. For some reason I get the feeling your a guy. If I'm wrong pleas excuse me. Even if your a gal my answer is still somewhat relevant.
I'm sure your teacher appreciated you letters but may have mistaken you interest in her. Today teachers have to very careful in how they interact with students and former students while they are in school and under age. Even after a student graduates the interaction between a teacher and former student of different sex's can be called into question with devastating effects for the teacher.
This is a subject that is even harder to approach with a student she may suspect have the wrong interest in her. If she were to write back and say anything about what she felt you were feeling it could be misinterpreted by you or anyone else reading the letter.
While it may have been wrong of her to not write back and say something to you about this or just write a general letter about how nice it was to be your teacher and how sorry she was to be moving. She may have felt the safest thing for her to do was to discourage you by not answering you at all.
If you appreciate her as a teacher and a mentor do not send her any more letters. Just remember her for the fine teacher she is and what she has taught you.

I think she appreciated the first few letters, but the letter about her new baby could of been a little much, but don't be embarrassed. She probably doesn't feel odded out by it, shes probably just busy. Just don't write her another letter, unless she contacts you first. If she knows your a good kid, she won't be mad at you for it..
Hope I helped!

Your teacher showed appreciation to the first letter by replying back too you, Therefore I think you should of ended right there. You congratulated her on her new baby but on the other hand this all personal information and I'm assuming she either could be busy with her lifestyle or doesn't feel it would be appropriate to continue writing letters to you about her lifestyle. The first letter was a nice gesture but I wouldn't keep sending her letters.
