Your Teacher is an Undercover Superhero and You Are the Key

A traditional key has a series of cuts in its blade that make it fit perfectly into the lock for which it was made. The wrong cuts get you nowhere, even if you can fit the blade into the lock. In the same way, you as the key need to have some specific cuts—in this case habits—that will unlock your teacher’s superpowers.
