A Different Sort of Trip Report. (I Think?) Long

I fell fortunate that I'm always able to visit John on my trips back to the East Coast to see friends and family.

A few years ago we decided to meet up at the college where he teaches. He had to teach a writing/composition class until 3:00pm so I thought it would be sort of fun to drive up a bit early and sit in and see John in action for the first time. Other than John telling one student in particular to ignore the weird guy crammed in a tiny desk in the back of the room I guess it was OK.

Usually these sort of classes are the sort that feature bored, uninterested students and apathetic teaching (or perhaps I was the one who was apathetic in my early days). But John had the class (and me) enthralled; it was a class I'll never forget.

John has found his calling.

PS From Rate My Professor dot com:

"i didnt get a good impression from him at firts however he turned out to be a nice guy. Is extremly willing to give extra help. Its really hard to fail if u go and do the work. He always smells like cigars and always wears black"
