Hi Cindy: Great story, thanks for sharing with the forum. I think it's true we are all persons first, then professionals from our specific line of work, and of course teachers. These "hats" allow us to bring creativity and variety into the classroom. I think we all can appreciate the benefits of improvement if needed, in order to help our students. Students enjoy interesting, motivated, caring instructors and probably do better in classes where this kind of instructor is present. Regards, Barry
