My tenth grade English teacher had one eye. He always wore a patch, or classes with one black lenses. This teacher was shot while at war, and even though he was a little too sarcastic he taught me what I have learned so far about writing. There are sixteen possible personality types in The Keirsey Temperament Test. After taking the test I found out I am an ISFP.
