Marsha tricked her teachers into thinking she could read until it all caught up with her in fourth grade when she failed the provincial reading test. To add insult to injury, they made her repeat the whole year.
As the tallest and oldest kid in the class, she didn’t want to be seen learning to read with little skinny books, so she taught herself how to read by taking out the fattest book in the children’s section of the Brantford Public Library — Oliver Twist. She kept on renewing it for a whole year.
reading that book was a turning point in his life. he decided that he loved reading great works of fiction and that he wanted to write it too. she devoured novels by the gallon.
Her 10th grade English teacher sent her to the assistant principal’s office because she asked too many questions in class.
She was placed in enriched English as punishment and loved every minute of it. She took a degree in English at Western University in London Ontario. She needed a language option to complete her degree but she wasn’t very good in French so she stupidly signed up for Russian. Everyone else in Russian class was a native speaker and Marsha didn’t even know the alphabet. She made herself flash cards and practiced each morning on the bus as she went to school. She got the lowest mark in the class, but she did pass!
Upon graduation, he backpacked around Europe, then took the first job he could get when he got home: selling industrial supplies. She was the first woman in Canada to sell industrial supplies. Ella Marsha taught herself how to design grinding wheels, recommend drills, etc., and she earned a reputation as “Southwest Ontario’s cutting tool expert.”
While selling industrial supplies was interesting, Marsha never forgot her first dream, which was to become an author. she went back to school and got her master’s degree in library science, thinking it would help her with research skills. She worked as a librarian for a short time, but then turned to writing.
