I have this memory of when I was in 3rd grade, and I asked my student teacher if I'm supposed to capitalize the "i's" in sentences. To which his response was something along the lines of "yes, and you know why? Because you are
that important." And proceeded to go on and on about how important, bright and pretty I was so I
must capitalize every solitary "I" in my writing. I thought it was so sweet, but I also felt a bit uncomfortable because I felt like he was hitting on me
BUT even though I thought it was a bit much for a simple question, it helped guide me for a long time whenever I had to write. So I got through it easier
and an ego boost!
