The kids didn't know that.

If I was late, you'd get in trouble because my head of department knew what time I was clocking in.

So I'd climb in through the window.

So sometimes I'd tell my form and be like, open the window.

And because it was on the ground floor, so I'd open the window and I'd get out of my car and I'd climb through the window.

So sometimes my form saw a real unprofessional teacher.

But they also just humanised them.

And I think...

structure wise everyone my lessons were organized but if only you knew that six minutes before the bell I was putting that together yeah yeah but they they wouldn't know that they saw a really organized smartly dressed teacher with books labels and everything like pens and everything organized

And where did the love for chemistry come from?

My college chemistry teacher was awful.

That's where it came from.

And he said, you will never be able to pass chemistry.

Everything in my life that I've done is because somebody has told me I couldn't do it.

So I'm a very petty and spiteful human being.

No, that's good.

So you tell me that I'm not going to be something and I'm like, I'm not.

You've got to do it.

You've got to do it.

Absolutely.
