I have some rather interesting students. Yes, yes, that is the best way to put it. One of the most colourful characters I have ever taught is Sean.
One day, Sean was starting on an essay, and was rambling, as he has a tendency to do when he wants to figure a topic out. Everyone around him was looking increasingly confused, so I tried to help them out by explaining Sean's thought processes. Most people go A...B...C, logical, sequential, and understandable. Sean, on the other hand, goes A...Q...Donkey...9...Lightsaber...H.
Everyone got a good laugh out of that one, including Sean, and got back to work. A little while later, Sean had got his thoughts together into a cohesive thesis statement. He looked at me, grinned, and said "Tara, all the donkeys and lightsabers are gone!"
Priceless.
Life Lesson: Lightsaber wielding donkey sith lords may hold you back, but they can be vanquished!
