Am Ende des Buches steht ein Epilog. Im Epilog geht es um den Ausklang meines Lehrerlebens auf einem Sommerfest. "Das Ende meines Lehrerlebens soll mir zufallen wie ein reifer Pfirsich, der vom Baum fällt, ohne dass man daran zieht und zerrt." Der erste Block "Einstieg" beschreibt meinen Werdegang zum Physiklehrer, der ich trotz allen Widerstandes gegen den Lehrberuf doch wurde. Ich starte chronologisch mit meinem Geburtsjahr 1944.
