Graf #2- Worst teacher
He was a mean and hateful drunk. He never had anything kind or encouraging to say to his students. I'm not even sure that he liked children at all. He had a coffee mug in hand at all times, though he never smelled like coffee. There was however a strong stench of cheap cologne that followed him around the classroom. He was constantly popping mint life savers as if he was trying to cover something up. He never seemed to teach us much, but always expected us to finnish our projects sucessfully. This made things difficult. We were seventh graders working with power tools! When I asked him to help me oneday he replied, "Your never going to make it in the real world you idiot!" That was minnor compared to the comments he made to other students. This teacher no longer has his job for obvious reasons. That thought of him working with children all those years still makes me cringe.

Graf #1
My hands are small with short fingers. Soft from my Jergans lotion that I use religously. No rings,not even on the left.I prefer it that way. My hands work steady all day long.They wake up in the morning and prepare me for my day. My hands drive me to work where my fingers get cut from slicing meat, and are sometimes smelly from chopping onions. My hands have small burns from my failed attempts to cook. My fingers are cramped from punching keys on the cash register. My palms are callused from turning valves on and off when filling propane tanks. I use my middle finger for the occasional rude customer behind their back of course. My hands are tired at the end of the day, but not too tired to pet the puppies until its time to go to bed, wake up, and do it all over again.
