![My entire stay there [high school] might have been time lost if it hadn't been for the unique personality of a brilliant teacher.

I believe in empathy. I believe in the kind of empathy that is created through imagination and through intimate, personal relationships. I am a writer and a teacher, so much of my time is spent interpreting stories and connecting to other individuals. It is the urge to know more about ourselves and others that creates empathy.
