Mr Francis. I was a very shy child, written off by some teachers, but he was the first to see my potential and to encourage me. I was mortified the first time he took one of my poems and read it to the class, I wanted to hide under the desk, then at the end I was overwhelmed at the response from the class. I think it was the first time that I felt that I could actually achieve something.
Do you ever wonder why you keep coming back here? And what’s the answer??
