I like being the first one to tell them about Long John Silver and negative numbers and Beethoven and alliteration and "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" and similes and right angles and Ebenezer Scrooge. . .

There was a moment when you moved from not knowing to knowing, from not understanding to understanding. That's why I became a teacher.”
