teddy_radiatorTheHubs™ and I were driving to work when we had one of our deeply philosophical discussions about teachers. He was telling me about two of his teachers in school. One was an English teacher and one was a Drama teacher. He spoke of how their passion for their subjects really inspired him and fired his imagination. It occurred to me as we were talking that I had had no such luck in high school. My teachers were so dry as to be flammable. I don't recall one single one of them truly in love with their subject; they did their hours and left. Even my choral teacher, whom I loved, really never brought any true excitement or passion to the table. No one else seemed to really care whether or not we learned anything of their given subject; the only excitement and passion I found in their classrooms was what I brought with me.
I wonder how many people feel this way - and how many of you can recall a high school teacher who stayed hungry, who wanted to ignite a fire in their students? I feel positively left out.
On to a more aggravating subject. Can anyone tell me the best way to format in email, specifically gmail? Several of the agents I am contacting state that they want the manuscript sample included on the email, and not an attachment. One in particular wants double spaced, and I'm just having too much trouble doing it in a way that is both legible and readable. Does anyone have any suggestions for ways to make my email behave a little more like a Word document? I would be ever so grateful for any suggestions. I'm a little stuck here.
