Hated plenty of teachers along the way but one particularly stood out for me as a very young kid . Had a substitute teacher for a few weeks in year 3 or 4 of primary school , so I ' m probably about 6 years old . During an art lesson we hand in our drawings at the end of the class , she takes my drawing out of my hand and berates me in front of the whole class saying my picture is terrible , she grabs my pencil out of my hand and snaps it in half and says to me I ' ll never amount to anything . Maybe in the end this experience just spurred me on because now I ' m a full time graphic designer . <| sep |> Nice for a magazine layout , but too fancy for me . No turkey would be caught dead in all that froofroo finery .
