WordPress – Daily-Prompt – 2010 – What is the story behind your nickname?
On my lifelong learning journey, I never was a Mr. B until I became a teacher. My last name is Bunch, which is a fairly uncommon name. Through the years I had many nicknames including but no limited to: Bunchy, Bunch of Grapes, Bunch of Bananas, Bunchito, Buncharama, Lunch Bunch, Bunch of hits, Toad The Wet Bunchie, Yogi, Buncherelli, Bunch Boy, Bunchy Boy, Buncherino, Bunch Dawg, Honey Bunches of Oats, Bunchanator, Mikeavelli, and so on….

I think students naturally gravitate towards calling their teacher Mr. or Mrs. then the first letter of their name in the U.S., not sure how it is in other countries.
The nickname Mr. B symbolizes my transition from a boy to a man in many ways. I went from a college educated ski bum, to a father and high school teacher in 2005. It was quite a transition and certainly not always an easy one, but I hung in there, worked hard, and now am in a great place with my career and family.
I suppose it denotes the transformation that has occurred from being someone mainly concerned with their own well being to a more socially aware and selfless version of myself that I like much better.
