Well, we agree on that.

What are your thoughts?
If you are old enough to be posting in this forum, you are old enough to have gotten over a mean kindergarten teacher.

OP, if you really are 26, or any age over about 12, it is long past time to let go of grudges from kindergarten. Your perception that the teacher was mean might not even be accurate; it's just a recollection of the perception of an immature brain. And still thinking in terms of "mean" as a child does isn't going to further your career prospects.

People your age are making scientific discoveries, commanding military units, writing books, practicing medicine, practicing law, running businesses. It is very unlikely that any one of them, if they are successful, is obsessing over some minor conflict with their kindergarten teacher.

Even if your recollection is accurate, the teacher is not being "mean" to you now. Let it go and get on with your life.
