Wheeler went on to complete a graduate education and is now a speech instructor at Tarrant County Junior College. For me that is and will always be Dr. Flowers. If caring and enthusiasm are the magic in his teaching, organization and clarity of presentation are his deck of cards. It starts with a brief outline scratched on the board, a road map for the lesson, and usually ends with some cliff-hanging comment about what's to come. While recognizing an instructor for his methodical and organized teaching style may not sound very inspiring, his students all agree there's real value in knowing where you're going.
Flowers just laughs at such praise.
Although I always know what I'm going to do when I go to class, I never know how people are going to receive it. Maybe that's what keeps him going, waiting to see which students will light up when a concept moves out of their notes and into their lives. Education is a dangerous thing. It will always challenge you to learn, grow and change. Those words are permanently stamped in Christopher Rose's mind.
