My legal studies teacher is really nice, and sometimes he says these things during class.

One time, we were talking about cyberbullying and he said that I would never do it, and even today we were talking about committing crimes and he said that I’d never do it too. For the end of last year, a person in the class would get a Myer gift card, and as he gave it to me he said it was for “being a brilliant girl.”

I always get really happy that I have his good opinion. I’ve done bad things in the past, but whenever he says something like above, it makes me want to live up to it. He makes me want to be better. Is that strange?
