This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 31, 2009:
Being an intellectual, and being perceived as intelligent, has been important to me all my life. The worst insult is when someone treats me as if I know nothing. (This happens sometimes, especially since I'm a Muslim woman who covers her head.) This is a natural role for me. I don't lie awake at night thinking about what "big words" I can use or how I can show off my knowledge. I love books and I love reading them and I love learning. Knowing is a natural byproduct.

Being a teacher as you have for so long, I'm sure you recognize ignorance when you see it. Pity, but there's plenty to go around!
