More than 20 years had passed, I could not believe that I had in front of me that man who left such bad memories in me, I know now that everything had a purpose and that I learned a lesson, but that it was a bitter experience, it was, that terrible teacher who was so cruel, ill-mannered and even ill-intentioned with everyone when he was our physics teacher.

I was still in shock, when I was introduced to him on the birthday of that dear friend and more noise caused me to notice how he looked at me, because when I was part of that group of students, he barely looked up to see us, but now he looked at me with eyes of a daring, mischievous man, I was even shamed and I could not believe when he approached me to ask for my phone number, I was tempted not to give it to him, but I thought that he would probably ask me out and I gave it to him.

The next day my cell phone rang, it was a number I had not registered, it was just this man and he invited me to have a coffee, I thought about declining his invitation, but I remembered that I had given him my number thinking that he could meet me and my classmates.

The day of the coffee arrived, I confess that I took the courage to see this man again, I arrived at the coffee shop where we had arranged to meet, I confess that it was a very beautiful place that I had wanted to visit for a long time, we arrived, we sat down and ordered coffee, I ordered a light brown and he ordered a black or American coffee, we began to talk about typical things, tastes, interests and the conversation went on and we got to the point of our studies, careers, in short, everything related to that topic, it was my highlight and I told him the following:

-I see that although we have seen each other on two occasions and today we have been talking for a while, you do not remember me, I will help you to refresh your memory, I studied high school at the Andrés Bello high school, where you were a physics teacher.

There, the man's face began to change, I continued saying:

-There in that school you taught me that subject when I was in the first year of the diversified cycle and although I must confess that as students we did not put the greatest interest in the first days of class and now I know as an adult that this must be very frustrating and tiring for a teacher.

-But the attitude you took towards us was terrible, you came to the classroom and called the blackboard problems and almost did not explain, you enjoyed seeing that we did not understand anything and as far as we knew this was not the first time you enjoyed torturing and failing students.

This man didn't know what to do, he tried to interrupt me and I didn't let him, continue talking.

-Thanks to your bad intention more than half of the section failed the subject and we had to go to recovery, in my case I did not manage to pass and many of my classmates either, so we were seriously affected, some had to repeat the year, my advice is that you analyze yourself and if you do not feel full and satisfied educating look for another activity that fills you more. Thank you, thank you very much for the coffee and have a nice day.

I got up from the table and left the cafeteria, feeling like the happiest woman in the world, because I had expressed something I had been dragging around since my youth.

Finally, this is my participation in the STB #35 of the Cinnamon Cup Coffee community, if you have made it this far thank you very much for reading and feel free to leave in the comment box your impressions about my lines.
