    I tried hard because I'm not a smart person and the perspective to be a worker in the communist regime was dark. Also we used to be frightened by teachers.

    Who was your fav teacher?

    Mrs Julie Clark, my high school sophomore English teacher. She made every effort to connect with her students.

    In a strange twist, I took her class two years in a row, even though I had a good grade the first year. I'm just not comfortable sharing that story with those that don't share their strange habits.



    Do you think you have the potential to be a good teacher?

    Not at all. First of all I don't have the ability to communicate. I'm shy and I'm always thinking I'll make a fool out of myself. Then I don't think I have enough knowledge to share with others and the pupils might be smarter then me. Then I think this job requires patience and finesse but I'm a vulcano when somebody gets on my nerves. Last but not less mportant I'm not a charismatic person, I'm sure the pupils would call me horrible names and I'd be petrified.
    Lol. This made me think of the gallery of cantors ( that's what they like to be called) that buried my youth......
    You know, we had a high school class reunion.I looked at them and realised how ridiculous things were. Now we were the powerful guys with successful jobs and they a bunch of old fashioned with old clothes who begged for the favors they used to be offered.
    I was shocked when the physics teacher who was the mischievous type that made our life a hell and made me hate this object came conspiratvely to me laughing of my joke I made about him in my presentation and said: so you're working for XXX......Can you help me with my niece, etc. etc......
    So you see dear airshifter, school days weren't only beers drunk in the park restaurant wearing stupid uniforms....

    Do you think you have the potential to be a good doctor?

    Trust me.... though we didn't wear uniforms my stories of high school days are much more sinister more likely.

    As for the reunion, very strange circumstances indeed. At least you made yourself a person that others now seek favors from. Though their desires seem a bit misdirected and strange, people usually don't ask favors from those incapable of helping them in some way.

    Not even remotely. Even if I had the knowledge required, dealing with ill people all the time would quickly bring me down. I have great respect for those that can deal with it on a day to day basis.




    Someone else should come up with a good question, as my mind is mostly mush right now!

    Question on airshifter's behalf:

    Did you ever have a crush on one of your teachers?
    ( I suspect airshifter has a bit of a story with Mrs.Clark )

    Yes. I did. She was my geography teacher and at the time I think all the boys liked her. At that age I am pretty we liked anyone

    Do you have what people refer to as a best friend?
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    No. Not in real life. Whenever I need someone I found myself alone.
    But I have a few good friends on this forum.

    Same Q.

    Not as such, no. I have many friends, mainly through shared interests etc, but no 'best friend' as such apart from my hummingbird guitar

    Do you assign human traits and characteristics to inanimate things (like erm... guitars for example)?

    Absolutely!

    I have a cheeky little car, a grumpy refrigerator and a temperamental microwave oven.

    What thing do you wish could exist but currently doesn't?
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!
