Quote #10

"You're one great teacher, Grant Wiggins," he said.

"I'm not great. I'm not even a teacher."

"Why do you say that?"

"You have to believe to be a teacher," I said, looking at the rows of new cane. (31.57-60)

Poor Grant doesn't believe in himself or what he's doing with his students. However, people around him do. They see the influence he has on the people around him and consider him to be great.
