As writer, I have a couple of times written about my relationship with my English teacher, one of the first time during my very first Poetry Marathon when I wrote a poem called ‘Dear Mr Teacher’: https://thepoetrymarathon.com/dscoremans/sonnet-dear-mr-teacher
This poem is a beautiful honouring of your former student and the kind of inspiration I wish I’d had, even if I acknowledge that my wanting to be a writer out of spite to prove my teacher wrong still got me to where I wanted to be, if just on a somewhat longer and more circuitous path.
