The joy of teaching

Unfortunately, as I mentioned, I have to work another year at my "real job" before I can become a teacher. It has nothing to do with the process of becoming a teacher, or the lack of jobs, but rather with my own personal financial situation. I just don't think I could afford to teach this year - and by that I mean: I don't think I could sustain such a big hit to my salary quite yet. (Well I could, but I have a family to think about...)

Not wanting to wait though, I took a job teaching a night course in physics at a local college. Asked how it went after the first night I replied "have you ever done something that made you feel like a part of your soul just woke up?"

It felt that good.
