Notes in Class 2/7/2013

"Now you don't grow up fat, Black, nearly blind, and ambidextrous in a West Indian household, particularly my parents' household, and survive without being or becoming fairly rigid fairly fast."-Lorde

Currently through etiquette school being boisterous, unkempt, and obnoxious at a traditional Southern dining room, especially the one in this conservative home, and live long enough to be a grown working adult.

"I afterward sold them to enable me to buy R. Burton's Historical Collections; they were small chapman books, and cheap, 40 or 50 in all." -Benjamin Franklin

Later I would hesitantly sell my 1st edition, jet black, and golden lettered record set in order to obtain rigid Black & Decker wrenches that came in a predetermined case that included 10 of different sizes.


Escalante

After reading Encyclopedia.com, they would note that during just two years at Normal Superior due to his exceptional skill at Physics and math he was called upon by his peers and students to start teaching Physics when there was shortage of teachers. Despite having no formal teaching lessons he mimicked the teachers he respected and started to teach on his own at the age of 21.


Encyclopedia will go on to state that, "When he graduated in 1954 he had three jobs lined up. In the mornings he taught at the prestigious San Calixto, in the afternoons he worked at National Bolívar High School, and in the evenings he taught at Commercial High School. It was through a lot of experience that Escalante developed his unique and effective teaching style."
