(I may have told this one just recently)

I remember fondly my 7th grade chemistry teacher, who explained the workings of the world in a way I had never seen before.

Halfway through the year, in response to me pushing a classmate's books off the desk - we were just having fun - he ran to where I was, and slapped me in the face so hard I fell off my chair.

Of course, he wouldn't have done this if I weren't the smallest and weakest male in the class. This solidified the bullies' approach to me, and set me up for the worst year of my life.

It also made certain I had no further interest in his subject.

Thank you, Dr. Kip Bollinger.
