Mr. Logan

Sexism, unfortunately, is very common in everyday life, especially for me. At Hot Springs High there is an array of culture and diversity, this diversity flourishes throughout the students and teachers. One teacher stands out from them, not just in appearance(height and...girth), but also in opinions. This man's name is Paul Logan. He has many talents such as: photography, lecturing, an unflinching ability to get side-tracked, excessive personalities, and an endless amount of sexist jokes. Mr. Logan is a strange character.

"Every man over forty is a scoundrel."
--George Bernard Shaw

My tenth grade year has been filled with him, for he is my first period world history teacher. Every morning through this semester, I have been awakened in his class by his odd character re-enactments, loud out-bursts, and endless lectures. In Mr. Logan's world history class I have learned many things that will certainly prepare me for the world.

"Mr. Logan," I said in a serious tone one morning. "One day I'm going to rule the world and when I do you'll remember this day."
Mr. Logan's calm expression reflected mine, that morning and remained constant in his reply of, "It's comical that you think a woman could do anything."
"I certainly hope you live to see the world under my rule and still have a mind that could remember that you were proved wrong."

Obviously, I do not plan on world domination being my future career, although it does sound quite charming.... My future career plan is to become a successful author, actress, and/or model. If not all, one will always be a dream come true(with the exception of modeling) and proof that I have succeeded in my life. I am not following what is set out for me, but what I feel good at and enjoy because I think a successful life is one in the pursuit and gain of happiness. While every man dies, not every man(or woman!) gets a chance to live.
