   I know what you mean about doing something that changes the world. I wonder how many time’s I’ve changed the world with my students. Which is why it was so heartbreaking that I was going to go another year without teaching. Another heartbreaking moment was when I accepted a job as an assistant in an Advertising agency…its more stable money than subbing, but I figured since I have the time…why not take some classes in Graphic Design. I could be more help if I did that.
