I really didn't want to meet him. What did he know? He was nothing but me at my age and then I knew a whole lot more than he did. However, I stayed with it.Guess what? The more I got to know, the more I liked him. At first, I didn't quite understand but the more we talked, the more interesting he became.From that moment on I was hooked. In reality he was one of the wisest teachers I ever had. Maybe he knew I needed a hero. Maybe he knew I needed to read something besides novels and listen to music. Maybe he knew life was more than lesson plans and grades. Maybe he really knew how much effect a hero had on lives. Maybe.
