In fairness, he seemed to be a pretty nice guy to the other students... he just hated
me because he thought I was that “Kirk” student.
I did have that Kirk kid in one of my classes eventually, and he
was a class clown type, no doubt about it... loud, boisterous, and always cracking jokes... but I still couldn't understand how Mr. Kazanznak confused the two of us.
I mean, Kirk was a white kid, and I was, well...
Japanese. And Kirk was about 6'2" or 6'3", while I was only 5'9". The
only similarity I could find between Kirk and I was that we both had brown hair!
And I'm sure it was the same Kirk, too, as Mr. Kazanznak would often use his last name when addressing me. It was an unusual last name, too - to this day, I've never even heard of another person with the same last name.
