My+Best+Student

=__**My Best Student**__=

It's Professor Defarge here again! I just had a recollection of a brilliant student I had many years ago. Here's her story:

I always hate when my students complain about my class to me, but one student always loved English and understood it perfectly. She never complained and did her work perfectly. She never got as good as me, but she was a close second. She shared my same passion for English and assisted me in all my literature studies; moreover, she became an intern for me and we worked perfectly together. She always knew exactly what to say. I always would talk to my wife about my prodigy while she did her knitting. I couldn't believe the brilliant insight she gave me into English.

But all good things come to an end. We both knew she was long ready to go out on her own and spread the English cheer. She wasn't doing anything in my class that she couldn't do herself. I finally had to make the executive decision to set her free to spread her love for English....

I think she went on to be an English teacher at a school in Peachtree City.... Her name was Maggie Walls, and she was such a smart cookie! I heard a rumor that she still teaches //A Tale of Two Cities// to her class which makes me so proud! It lets me know that she still hasn't forgotten where she came from. I hope that her English spirit has flowed through all of her students!

I still visit Maggie every once and a while and give her some ideas for projects and essays. She loves to talk about how bright and creative her students are, but she always reminds me how helpful my class is. Those students truly are learning from the best and I hope that my messenger, Jacob Mewborn, gets this letter out to all of her students so that they know where she came from. Know her history. Know her background.

This is it for this letter but there will be more to come! Long live English!
