“I would start by writing to an adult, maybe a high school teacher, or maybe an aunt or uncle, and writing and telling them why you want to go to a particular university. That's probably what you would actually sound like. Then write your letter to the university, and put those 2 versions in front of you, and look at the difference between those 2 things.” WantWritingLooksSchoolSoundDifferencesTeacherFrontsParticularHigh SchoolAdultsLettersUniversityVersionsUnclesAuntSchool TeachersHigh School Teachers Author:David Sedaris
“There are writers you admire, for the skill or the art, for the inventiveness or for the professionalism of a career well spent. And there are writers-sometimes the same ones, sometimes not-to whom you are powerfully attracted, for reasons that may or may not have to do with literary values. They speak to you, or speak for you, sometimes with a voice that could almost be your own. Often there is one writer in particular who awakens you, who is the teacher they say you will meet when you are ready for the lesson.” WellsMayArtSometimesReasonValuesSpeakVoiceCareersTeacherParticularReadyLessonsSkillsAdmireProfessionalismInventiveness Author:James D.

“When I recall my teachers at school, I realise that half of them were abnormal. . . . We pupils of old Austria were brought up to respect old people and women. But on our professors we had no mercy; they were our natural enemies. The majority of them were somewhat mentally deranged, and quite a few ended their days as honest-to-God lunatics! . . . I was in particular bad odor with the teachers. I showed not the slightest aptitude for foreign languages - though I might have, had not the teacher been a congenital idiot. I could not bear the sight of him.” PeopleMightSchoolLanguageNaturalHalfEnemyTeacherHonestParticularBearsMercySightMajorityIdiotRealisingProfessorsRecallsOld PeoplePupilsAbnormalAptitudeForeign LanguageOdorAustriaDerangedNatural Enemies Author:Adolf Hitler
“There is also one excellent reason why the veriest amateur may feel entitled to have an opinion about education. For if we are not all professional teachers, we have all, at some time or other, been taught. Even if we learned nothing-perhaps in particular if we learned nothing-our contribution to the discussion may have a potential value.” IfsFeelsMayReasonValuesOpinionTeacherTaughtParticularExcellentReason WhyDiscussionContributionEntitled Book:The Poetry of Search and the Poetry of Statement: On Dante and Other Writers Source: The Poetry of Search and the Poetry of Statement: On Dante and Other Writers
