Click here to get familiar with the author. How many of his books have you read? Opal wasn't sure if she should be afraid of Otis as he was a criminal and had gone to jail. Gloria tells Opal that even she has made mistakes before she learned 'the most important thing' and that the 'most important thing' is different for everyone. For Gloria, her most important thing is learning that you can't judge people by what they have done; you have to judge them by what they are doing now.
The most important thing I learned in teaching is that each student is different because they are unique individuals. Therefore, I must find suitable ways to help each student learn. Explain what is 'the most important thing' for you and how you came to learn it. |
