Is it a true sentence?

I wrote this sentence: " If I could return to my past, I would meet my first teacher". Is it ok? Thank you in advance Emotion: wink

It is grammatical but I don't think a native speaker would say it. First of all, it gives me the impression that meeting your first teacher would automatically follow from your returning to your past. I don't know what native speakers would say, but I would probably say If I could return to the past, I would like to meet my first teacher.
