Shawn, Right. An authentic "me" will be received better by students, more than an artificial version of someone else. We all have had good teachers we admired and sometimes the temptation is to emulate their manner and ways. What will be missing is the unique, true, effective traits we each possess when we copy some body else. That doesn't mean we can't be inspired by others, and use teachniques learned or observed. But these attributes are best experienced through the real person standing right in front of them - their teacher. Regards, Barry
