" Get your hopes up and be ready for the next shot!"
             The voice of Phill Magner, teacher of calculus at Johansen High School, always bursts with enthusiasm as he picks up the ballpoint pen and starts giving an explanation of how two integral equations can be solved in a various ways. Calculus, Blackjack trick, unique view of controversial issues, possibility of travel through time - there seems to be no end to Magner's examples of how mathematics affects his ability to think differently than others do. As a matter of fact, the last three years of attending his lectures gave me a great deal of information, but I still know very little about his personality. Even though I might have a slight acquaintance with Mr. Magner, I believe it is worth unfolding his uniqueness by organizing my thoughts about him and putting them into words.
             "Mr. Magner is coming," all my classmates shouted. However, all of a sudden everyone became quite as he walked into the classroom. He was tall, hairy, with big blue eyes that stay in the same width all the time; I felt so surprised to see that he looks just like one of my favorite movie stars - Silver Star Stelon. His hair was grayish with little bit of boldness in his forehead area.

He is always wearing his thick glasses even when he takes a bath. He also has a very unusual eyebrow, in colors ranging from dark brown to highlighted yellow, and a steep cut on each end.
             Magner, who came to Johansen High School twelve years ago, has made a career after obtaining bachelor's degree in mathematics at Michigan State University. It suggests that he always likes to be called a mathematician rather than a teacher.
             Mathematicians like to reason out theories in a scientific manner. Despite o
