He is the man meeting the student, not halfway, but all the way. He is the man who, having experienced doubt, irresolut'lon, and defeat, understands the meaning of empathy. He is challenging to many because he is alive to many. A keen mind, a ready wit, and empathy for all are the immeasurable qualities of u really fine teacher.
