695 Words3 Pages

With its linoleum-tiled hallways, florescent lights, and carpet older than the teachers there, Renner Middle School was the kind of stereotypical school setting that only Hollywood would come up with.

    I had a History professor at Central Texas College during my undergraduate studies that was able to spread her excitement about the subject like a virus. It seemed that she was able to relate every single lesson in the syllabus to our lives, which made me care more, because I could identify myself with what I was learning.

She was like watching a live Paul Harvey “The Rest of the Story” segment.

Maybe I didn’t like the place because I was suspended five times from it.
