I am going to email my favourite

Nov 15, 2020 by tycoon1234
high school teacher from grades 9 and 10. How does this email sound? We had a connection and she always saw something in me. I switched schools in grade 11 and she would email me. When I transitioned to university, I stopped responding and we lost touch. I have been meaning to reach out to her for quite some time.
--------------------------------
Hi Ms. ____, 

It is Alex ____, and wow, it has been a while! 

Firstly, I want to apologize for losing touch. I was undoubtedly overwhelmed while transitioning to university, and although I always meant to reach out, I never got around to it. I am in a different chapter of my life now, a better chapter, and I feel like it is the right time to reach out. 

I truly hope that you are doing well, and life is going fantastically. I have been reflecting on high school; specifically, who I was, how that compares to who I have become, and my wonderful role models, like yourself, who guided and supported me. I will always be thankful for your support; you saw something in me when I did not see something in myself. It means the world to think back and know that I had a valuable role model during those critical years of my life, especially in a school where I did not feel comfortable. 

Quick updates about my life! 
* I graduated from Queen’s in May with a BScH. I majored in Psychology and minored in Life Science. 
* I just began my Master’s in Neuroscience at Queen’s. I am currently living in Kingston (or, more accurately, in the lab)!
* I enjoy what I am learning. It can be quite difficult and does not come easy to me. Still, I appreciate the challenge, and I like the opportunities for growth that it provides me with, both academically and personally. 
* I want to think that I have substantially matured since we last communicated. Undergrad was challenging. I struggled quite a bit, but learned a lot about myself and what I am capable of in the process.
* My hair is still ginger! 
* In my spare time, I go on runs, listen to excessive amounts of music, watch too much TV, read less than I should, meditate, and try to spend as much time as possible outdoors.

I would truly love to hear about how you are doing! If you are willing and available, perhaps we could schedule a Teams or Zoom meeting and properly catch up. Absolutely no pressure though, I imagine that you must be busy! Either way, I am sending warm thoughts and my very best wishes. 

Alex :)

This letter seems very modest, proper, and cordial :)
