#1 Darn, I thought it was a good question. It could be answered many different ways.

#6 Mine was an ex-nun in a public school earnbing money for her mother's medical bills. How great she was and how much times have changed is illustrated by this interchange at a back to school night:

Parent: My son complains he can't hear you in class and after listening to your presentation, I can understand why.

Teacher: Then you'll have to listen harder, also.
