is it normal that i wish my teacher loved me like a daughter

I have a similar experience sorry This is going to be long.

When I first saw mrs.... she was the coordinator for my yr level when I first started high school. Not many students including myself liked her b coz she was very strict and you knew not to cross her. It wasn't until my second yr in high school that I first spoke to her. I had been going through a rough time that yr with my home life (i ran away from home coz it got so bad) and my performance at school was dropping drastically) teachers must have noticed and that's when mrs... pulled me aside one afternoon to ask how things were for me at home. In that moment i saw a different side to her. She was very caring and i was able to open up to her easily. She also disclosed to me some of her past that related to what I was going through at that time. When she told me the things that happened to her I could see tears welling up in her eyes and All I wanted to do was hug her at that moment and tell her it's ok. It felt good tho for me to know that I wasn't the only one to go through what was happening to me. Honestly from that afternoon I loved her and cared for her so much. Almost like i wanted to protect her from what had happend coz id been through it. the love i felt for her only got stronger from there. Over the next yr our relationship grew stronger also. She built me up and believed I could do anything I set my mind to. I was not used to this as I had no role model in my life at the time that ever believed in me. Once a week I had a free period and she organized for me to come and spend time with her. She helped me discover I had a natural talent for art (the subject she taught) we'd sit and do art and chat about problems or what I did during the week or she'd chat about what she's done and some of her life. She told me often that she loved me and wished she was my mother. And when she would say this I always felt like crying coz I wished so much it was true. She would also hug me or hold my hand or touch my face. She bought me birthday and christmas presents and i also fid the same for her. When I found some permanent accommodation through a youth service she would visit me and At the end of That yr she offered me around her place for Christmas but I didn't go. I wish I had have tho.
Anyways
She is the strongest most amazing person I've ever met and still to this day she has a special place in my heart. She made a huge impact on my life. And I really hope she knows that.

ok well I didnt know how to comment so i just replied to this one. also im using a very old slow misbehaving kindle so there will probably be typos. so all of my teachers since third grade i have kind of been aching for them to show thbe motherly love i am not getting due to the fact that my mom is an extreme dictator. i even ache for that connection with my music teachers. sometimes when it gets bad, i make up stupid fantasties about where something happenes to me an they rescue me. i know for a fact that if someone asked me what i crave most in the world, it would be motherly love.

I have been wondering whether I should post a comment here but eventually decided I would. My teacher compared to those described here is an ordinary one but she has helped me a lot.I remember I cried on my first day at new school because I could not find my classroom and she saw me and helped me to find my class. later she told me and my mother that if I needed help I could come to her. In fact when I was in the 5th form she was not supposed to teach me but since I cried a lot my mother asked her to accept me into her group and the teacher agreed. When I was in the 7th foform, the teacher told us she had to give one of the classes she taught to another teacher because of the workload and she said she was not going to give our group to that teacher only because of me. I guess she thought this would not be very nice since she accepted me into her group. she set me as an example to other students in our group and praised me a lot.She allowed me to take part in contests and olympiads. But when I took the exam on her subject in the 12 form it turned out that the results of the exam were not very good. This happened not due to the lack of knowledge- I simply did not have enough time to transfer my answers to the answer sheet. When we had a school leaving celebration she told me it is a pity everything happened like that-she ment the exam. My mother told her that it is a pity the teacher has put so much work into it and the teacher replied all her work had disappeared. After a couple of years she accidentally met my mother and told her that she had enquired about this situation and said that such things were not uncommon and happened often- couldn\t she have told this a month after the exam? I guess if I had ppassed this exam with flying colours the school authority would have considered her to be a good teacher- this would have helped them to change the opinion they had of her and her teaching- she is not considered to be a very good teacher. But when I came back to my school because I had to do some tasks related to teaching, the teacher allowed me to monitor her lessons. But she seemed different- she tried to show off- she constantly talked about the extra lessons she was giving and how her students enjoyed it. I have no idea why she did that and even when she asked me a personal question she did not seem to be listeing to what I was saying. She is like two different people in one body. So I guess I have mixed feelings about her But Ienvy the students whose tutor she is - I bet she cried or was at least upset when she conducted the last lesson to htat class. she found out I was studying her subject only after two years after school graduation. I bet she would know what the students whose tutor she is are studying after a couple of days after the results off those who received places at universities are announced

I feel the same way with my band teacher, to be honest. I met her this year, and didn't really feel anything special at first. She was nice, and up there on my favorite teacher list, but wasn't first. Then, on the night of our Spring Band Concert, something (I don't know what) changed. It just did. I loved band class. Then two days later, we went to Busch Gardens. And it was so amazing. I got into a whole conversation with her on the way to the bus. I also say "hi" to her every morning I have band (and try my best to on mornings I don't but I'm not allowed to, I usually ask to use the bathroom or something :p). And, even though I'll have her for two more years, I'm really upset that summer is coming. I think it's quite obvious I'm her favorite student. I love her so much (as a teacher, not invading her personal life) and really want to keep in touch with her over the summer. She has changed my life.
