If you could reconnect with one person you've lost contact with, who would it be?

A natural way to answer

I would choose a teacher who really believed in me when I was younger. I never properly thanked her, and I often wonder how she's doing. It would mean a lot to me to tell her what a difference she made.

Key phrases to use
