Every
day I believe I can make a difference by imparting knowledge. I
seek that perfect connection where student and teacher are almost reading
each other’s minds on the intellectual journey. I’ll catch a glance
and I know I’ve connected. I don’t mean the student thinks exactly
like me. We may disagree, but it is a perfect connection where energy,
understanding, and learning fuse. When that happens, it’s
electrifying.”
