Instruction

I have an inquisitive nature. I seek to explore all the knowledge that I can find. When the subject turned to you, I was the best student I could be. I studied you, wanted to learn you...but your teaching I just couldn't follow. In your syllabus, you described all the details that I could look forward to. Like how loving you are, intellectual conversations we could engage in, quality time you like to spend. But as the class began, the more lost I became. Your instruction left me angry because I felt so inadequate. Always a good student, i found myself flunking out of your class. Seeking extra help so that I could make an attempt to understand, you were nowhere to be found. I found myself berating myself about how foolish I was. After a few failed attempts I ultimately decided to drop your class. I'm so glad I did, for I realized that you were not who you said you were. For me it's another lesson learned in this transcript called life!
