MY FAVORITE TEACHER
It was my first day at Galois and the class was full of faces expecting the next boring teacher. Well, that was not what happened: what I saw was a blond and fat man, whose blue eyes were the owner of my attention at that moment, walking in my classroom and saying "Hello, students! My name is Fernando and I teach Byology". He had "a thing" that I can't explain, but I totally concentaded myself in his words and just thought about others stuffs when he stopped talking.
I am not a big fan of Byology and don't get great grades either, but even this way he is my favorite teacher. What I really like about him is the way he talks about himself: he had cancer, started smoking with thirteen and quit it with nineteen (because of cancer), he got his first work when he was sixteen and emacipated himself with this age too. But he doesn't say about his difficulties and experiences with sad voice and weakness. He is capable of saying serious problems with a mature voice, which makes me think how life can be hard and how people, including me, are strong enough to keep living.
However, he has an inconstant humor and when he is having a bad day it is impossible not knowing this because he became a very nonfriendly person. In other hand, I am sure that he is who he looks because his bad-tempered makes him a normal and honest person, who has bad and good moments and doesn't try to look always happy.
All his experiences shared with us and the love in his face when he talks about the subject he teachs make me see that some people change the world just doing little things, because he is an example of them. And thinking this way, I am availlable to change something around me and be an example to people that is gonna change their behavior and maybe world gets better and works as only one.
