Okay, I have a few minutes before leaving for church, so let me start answering these questions. We'll start with Craig:
1. What made you decide to become a teacher?
July and August
2. What is the most rewarding thing about teaching (for you)
The paycheck
3. Can you share one of your proudest moments as a teacher?
I guess it ws the night I got a standing ovation for directing
a high school prodcution of NOISES OFF. It really was a
flawless production.
4. What's one thing you've struggled with in your life that you were able to overcome?
This is rather personal. I was born with a severe handicap
that I swore I would never discuss in public. I have learned
deal with it to the point that very few people realize I
am handicapped. This is why I am so impatient with people
who don't learn to cope with the hand of cards we're dealt at
birth.
5. Who are your inspirations?
St. Maximilian Kolbe, who gave his life in Auschwitz so that
another man could live and ultimately go home to his family.
St. Bernadette Soubirous, who not only received 18 visions of
the Virgin Mary, but went on to live a life of service to
the ill and infirm. Her body has experienced no decay and
is lying in the convent of Never, France.
St. Francis of Assisi, who realized that the harmony of nature
is all part of God's Divine Plan.
St. Joseph of Nazareth, the foster father of Christ. As an
adoptive father, I look to his example time and time again.
