LET'S TALK :) "Let's talk!" In the middle of a boring civics lecture , when my mind had already wandered off miles away , my train of thoughts was broken as Mrs Tomar  yelled . Mrs Tomar was one of the few people , I feel lucky enough to have known . She was a teacher affecting lives of students , beyond grades. She never taught us anything , we learned with her.

She gives the best hugs in the world , and all
