When I was a young student, I always thought my teachers had eyes in the back of their heads. 
They noticed everything. They saw everything. Nothing got past them.

And now that I’ve taken their place, I feel myself slowly turning into them.

A typical Eastern European teacher with eyes in the back of her head. 😂

But something has changed with age. The things I didn’t necessarily appreciate about my teachers when I was young, I remember now with so much appreciation and nostalgia.

I never consciously tried to copy them. I think I simply became a little like them naturally.

Maybe that’s what happens when you spend your life following the same path. At some point, parts of your teachers become parts of you.

So if you’re a student right now thinking your teacher is too picky, notices too much, corrects every little detail… just wait. 😂 If you continue down the same path, one day you may become exactly that teacher.

And maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

Today something happened that made me feel this full circle even more. On Etsy I found the old cosmetology books  I studied from in the former Soviet Union. 
I haven’t seen these books in more than 30 years.

Of course, I bought everything I could get my hands on. 😂

And what surprised me most was realizing how much of those books I still remember by heart.

Now they’re coming to me, and I genuinely cannot wait to hold them again, open them, and see the pages that helped teach me this profession so many years ago.

Funny how life brings you back.

Full circle. And I’m so grateful for it.
🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️✨
