By the beginning of high school I had had most of the spirit wrung
out of me by a religious education, but because my family relocated
for my step-father's job I found myself in a public school in the
11th grade. There, I was blessed with two inspired English teachers
who certainly saw more in me than I saw in myself. It is because of
them that I am not working in a factory today. (Well, I work in a
university, which is a sort of factory . . .)
