Two people in my life saved me from a life of ignorance. One was a girlfriend who encouraged me to try harder in school, and the other was my Chemistry. Professor. I was a terrible student, and it wasn't that I didn't do the work, but as hard as I tried, I never performed as well as the other students around me. Dr. Krull taught me how to learn and how do research.
having been brought up in a teacher's household, i am running from teachers since.
It's a pity but I don't have a favourite teacher from my school days, I found it all very uninspiring and couldn't wait to leave.
I did, however, go back to college as a mature student in my mid/late 30s and studied Egyptology and then got a BA (Hons) in Roman Archaeology. My favourite then was a Dr Emma Dench (Dame Judi Dench's niece as it goes), she was almost eccentric but it was her passion for her subject, she taught me a great deal about critical and analytical thinking
