Turn Him Into an Apple!
My health teacher in high school didn't like me. I don't know what I said or did that caused her to stop liking me but it was pretty apparent that she couldn't stand me. I want to say that it was because I knew more about the human reproductive system than her but I just like to think that every teacher has that one student they just don't care for for one reason or another (or no reason).
The moment I knew she didn't like me was when she called me a "druggie failure" because I didn't turn in one assignment. And up til then I had never taken drugs and what's her definition of failure? Someone who doesn't reach their full potential? I have the rest of my life to reach my full potential where as she will remain a teacher until being forced into the retirement. One of my English weren't huge fans of me either. I had wanted to be an author and I think they wanted to squash that dream because they were unable to achieve it. I'm a firm believer in "those that can't do, teach" which a few exceptions and that usually only extends to high school and some junior high teachers.
The reason I bring this up is that Wilberforce's teacher (which is different from his last one) looks like my old health teacher only taller.
Seven #1.6 later tonight. LAMNB will be back June 1st.
