I wasn't distracted by attractive teachers, quite the opposite.
For a while, I studied history intensely just because of one Marya Semyonovna... I went to her for extra lessons... :smile36:
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
