5. My favorite instructors
I'm known for not having good relations with teachers. I'm the only person to fail a class with an A test average. I also had a negative percentage in a class as my final grade. So I should recognize my favorite teachers for their unconventional merits.

My community college math teacher for calc 1. I got an A in his class despite it being mathematically impossible because I never did any homework. When he called me out for not doing the homework I told him to "stop busting my balls" in front of class during class. He told my friend who had the class next semester that I stunk of alcohol and pot everyday. I was above 100% on every test after the curve so he couldn't give me anything less than an A.

My 6th grade advanced math teacher. After I turned in the division of fractions with different denominators test with a list of answers and no work she accused me of cheating in front of class. She went on at length about how it was not possible and that even she couldn't do it. Then after solving a list of fractions in my head she told the class I was smarter than her and gave me the A on the test.
