Every once in a while, you will come across people who are interesting...and you will come across people that march to the beat of a different drummer.
I had two instructors this semester I really admire...Dr. Laura "Chris" Green and Dr. Steve Ball. Dr. Green teaches bilingual/ESL education courses. Dr. Ball, also a practicing therapist, teaches psychology.
Then you meet these individuals that really inspire you. Dr. Josh Thompson is one of those in my case....I can't believe he was once a kindergarten teacher. How many dudes can say have ever been a member of the "pink collar" workforce. But he really inspires me--his sensitivity, his warmth, and his creativity, not to mention the fact that he is open-minded....For those of you who would like to know more....here is his faculty webpage....
