I couldn't express to him enough how much I enjoyed his class and all the lectures and ... a mural of myself hung on the east wall. I remember the day the university dedicated that lobby to me for my outstanding achievement. My friends and I had led a fund rally for the school to raise money for the many programs which would be affected by the enormous tax hike in the fall of 99. We eventually raised over five million dollars for the university and prevented the cutting of many of the school's fine programs. My fellow thespians, Susan, Richard and the rest of the Theater Acting III class, told the President of what I had organized and how successful it had been. The marvelous mural ...
- 2288: Doped Up Or Deep Thinker
- ... lot of what he is saying without tripping. Nevertheless, a couple of poems did stand out for their vivid imagery and story-like quality.

The only main pattern that stood out beyond all else was his use of a questioning phrase, whether it had a question mark at the end or not.

I think that having that kind of training and not using it would be the greater crime. What does a person go to medical school for, what about the Hippocratic oath that is taken by doctors ? Most of all, what about your conscience ? Could you live with yourself knowing that you did not do all that you could do to help another human being when that person is in need?
