I think the inner story to Teacher Training is her own history of needing a teachers attention (her struggle to be the best, and how she was so dissapointed up until that day where the teacher commended her), and how she can convey her own inner story to her students now, where she has realized she must attend to all of the students needs as indivuduals, and that can be difficult at times. Her inner story is continuing through the beginning story when she was a little girl, up into her adult life as a teacher, and her goal of become a better teacher and person. She uses her own experience to impact her teaching style, and goes to talk about keeping the interests of all the individuals at heart in order to be a great teacher.
I really liked both pieces - I liked teacher training because I could really feel her humiliation when she talked about not spelling the words correct, and also when she got upset about her teacher not noticing about her work, and also her anticipation about her new teacher in the fifth grade.
In Finding The Inner Stor In Memoirs and Personal Essays by Michael Steinberg, I liked the way he talked about his story, and how he gave tips for memoirs (especially in the end where he writes about what people leave out.) which I will most definately be using in future writing!
Both were great, and I really enjoyed both pieces.
