Maybe 8 years ago I was paired with this really quiet dude for a group project. It was for statics engineering. We had to create a poster board with force diagrams on cars, bridges, buildings, etc. We needed to create a bunch of drawings and discussed how to create them. This dude just quietly said “I can use paint” and started clicking away.
He opens paint while no one is really paying attention to him. Within 2 minutes, the first drawing was done. We all were confused so we started to watch him work. He was flying through the whole project. He would copy sections, move them slightly over, draw a couple lines, and have immaculate 3D pictures. He single handedly created all our diagrams in 30 minutes. Our group of 5 got an A on the project.
To this day, I still use paint doing some of the tricks I learned watching him work.
I can tell you who is calling - seconds before it actually rings.
Edit: oh, and I can lure any cat into liking me. Without any treaties.
Do you have a metal plate in your head or something? I don’t get how that’s possible
Not in my head but in my wrist. And believe me, I am confused as well how this is possible. But it works like 80% of the time, so far too often to be just a coincidence.
I have a couple of friends who are amazing teachers. One because she’s very educated and experienced. One with a different education and experience, but she just has a natural ability to communicate effectively and engagingly.
I have graduate degrees in English and Education. 20+ years of teaching experience in the ESL classroom. The best teacher I ever met was a 20-something who had just graduated from college, never had a full-time job, no teaching experience or training of any kind. Observing him as his teacher-mentor at a language school in Japan, and subsequent feedback sessions, his approach and his insights easily surpassed other teachers in my experience. And the students unanimously loved him. He was just one of those people who had it.
