She said, "You were the good reader, weren''t you!"

My favorite teacher is a teacher from elementary school.  My parents and I ran into her at a restaurant a couple years after I had been in her class.  My parents introduced themselves and me.  When she heard my name, she said, You were the good reader, weren't you!"  I remembered that incident though not my teachers name, I felt that if I did my best, I would be remembered for it.
