1.There's an old phrase saying,"Those who can't do,teach."But if you have a really teacher,you just might be attracted to following in that instructor's footsteps.
No time in my life was rougher than going from a small grade school to Texas middle school.All the other boys lived within walking distance of the school.I was the only one who lived across the mountain,in a completely different environment.
But in seventh grade,we had David Lombrana,who taught about every subject that wasn'maths or science.His brother Vicente,another good teacher,got those two.Mr.Lombrana let us have a love of literature,but it was tough for me,as a fan of history,to read fictional stories.But he introduced us to Jack London,Mark Twain,John Steinbeck and Edgar Allan Poe.He would spend the last few minutes of the day reading a short story of his favorite author:Erskine Caldwell.ll the stories were either funny or interesting,making you not put the story down until you had finished it.But what we didn't realize was that there was a moral to each one.He also instructed us when we needed to hear the truth.Mr.Lombrana followed me and several students to a local high school,where he helped to build a top speech and debate team before leaving for Houston,Texas.
Nowadays,we keep in touch by Facebook.Amazingly,we both remember those days like they were yesterday.I was fortunate to have more than one good teacher in life,ranging from teachers in grade school to researchers in college and graduate school.These teachers worked hard to make me use all of my potential.But it was Mr.Lombrana who was the first to get me thinking that being a teacher could be something special.
