 I ended up going to Stillwater and got a got a great job and a great opportunity and I was an eighth grade world geography teacher junior high-golf coach and loved every minute of it and that's how I got my start and my commitment to public schools continued. I wanted to be a teacher when I was in college it's when I got the calling I referred to it in that way because that's what it was I wanted to help kids. I watched the the excitement in their eyes when they learned something new and something clicked. There were two teachers who really inspired and garnered my interest in being classroom teacher and the first one it wasn't anything that she our class was fun and it was as energetic was an English class in Mount Prospect, Illinois and it was Miss Grossmark and it was because at that time in my life I was drifting my grandmother had just died and it was the first person I'd ever had died and I did I was I was a terror I know I was reacting out in a way that probably wasn't good and it was Miss Grossmark who was there for me and showed up every day and went the extra mile in fact at one time it was my grandmother died at the end of the year 1970 and when January rolled around we I don't know if you guys remember ever participating in these book orders that you would you know the scholastic way you get an opportunity to order some books and I didn't order anything and she brought me a calendar and I was like I didn't order this and she she brought it to me that are you know she ordered it for me just to show that she cared and it was that caring that made such a such an absolute difference in my life
