Maureen, Most of my students and colleagues would probably guess that I'm an extrovert, based on my manner, demeanor, and affect while in the classroom and in meetings. But in truth, I'm an introvert, and consider myself quite shy. Yet, when I consider my students' desire to learn, my inhibitions are put aside and I go all out to try my best to get them to succeed. So for me, my care and concern for student learning takes precedence over my personal traits and preferences. Barry Westling
