As Philip introduced me to the young man, named Stephen, he reminded him that he would be taking one of my , Introduction to Literature.

Every time I saw him on campus, he would brighten up and say, “One bite at a time.” Whenever he introduced me to his friends, he would tell them that he was when he was supposed to be failing. His , he said, was that he was what I taught him before classes ever started: “Take it one bite at a time.”
