Resolved Question: Im so embarrassed. Teachers/anyone...should I be?

My home is for sale and the realtor that came to show it was one my my old high school teachers from 10th grade. Its been about 7 years since I was in his class and he didn't recognize me, especially with my new family and every. When I realized it was him I got every teary eyed and red in the face...started sniffling... and basically told him how he clanged my life and I loved his class, and that he was just the greatest teacher I ever had in my life. He looked to the floor and thanked me. Said it was nice seeing me and left. hahahaha I am so fuckin embarrassed now. Completely humiliated but I just couldnt help myself from crying. I was a bad kid in his class, always cuttin school, makin fun of him during class, never doin my work. And then one day he kept me after school and yelled at me. said I was a punk ass kid and he told me that i use the excuse that my parents walked out on me as a free pass to be a piece of shit. he said take some advice, grow up, and be part of society OR end up in jail like your brother. your chance is now to change, take it, cause i know you can. At first I was mad but then I started going to his classes, studying, and really turned my life around. Nobody ever talked to me like that before and it seriously changed me forever. it was like a wake-up call. I never made it to college, but i finished high school, and now i have my possess business w my husband and a good life and i think that his little speech really may be a part of my success. i am sooo emberassed. pleasee help me not feel so bad. i feel every gusy and weird.
