I am not a teacher myself but come from a family of them. What a wonderful story! To have proof and validation of what you do for a living and to be able to say that you have been doing it correctly from the beginning is quite an achievement. Growing up with teachers in my life I have always held the opinion that they should be celebrated. I know that I wouldn't be successful as a software developer if it wasn't for a few of my teachers taking extra time with me in grade school and highschool becasue they saw that I genuinley loved programming. So thank you for what you do and thank you for your amazing story.
