It was my first day at Grade 6. And the first lesson was English. When I was doing nothing, Mr. Gough, our new English teacher, into the classroom.
To my surprise, he held up a book, The Collected Works of Edgar Allen Poe, and asked if anyone it. I put my hand up, because Poe was my favorite writer. Mr. Gough asked if I really understood the author tried to say in his book. My reply made him smile, and he asked me an essay on that subject.
After that, English classes became a new interest for me. Mr. Gough thought that students hadto a play to understand it. “Don’t just read it,” he said.
As time passed, we developed a real friendship. He encouraged me to be a in the future. When I left school, he said to me, “You have a gift for writing, Tony, and one day you’ll come to realize how it is. Make use of it if you want your life to be complete.”
have passed. Now, every time I sit down to write , I think of Mr. Gough. He was more than just an English teacher, because he also taught me useful lessons in life.
