Learning became valuable, there are certain teachers that had a constant influence. They were interested in their subject and wanted to pass on their knowledge. Also learning became an escape or indeed an escape route. Either way I learned to respect knowledge but not be overawed by it. Life is not a brain game, though it can be a brain drain.

Describe something you learned in high school.
That if you are good at sport ,bullies don’t bother you.
I had a bad feeling I was going to be picked on by a group of girls,but it was just before our one and only ever hockey lesson at school
The teacher wanted to demonstrate the basics of a tackle using a hockey stick and chose me as her opposition.I stopped her every time she tried to get by me.
Later on I noticed the main girl had decided that I was no longer a target.
It was a weird feeling,but sadly they just moved on to someone else.
