Fulfilling a dream

 After five years of teaching college students the Fundamentals of Speech Communication, I am certain that the years I put in to get my Master's and Doctoral degrees were worth every minute. I am proud to say that my students learn the basics of scholarly writing and academic research in my classes. 

The upside of teaching is that I get to exhibit several personalities, including the caring professor, the pedagog, the taskmaster, the influencer, the mind opener, and the BEAST of APA Style.

So, I get to teach until I am 80, if I am lucky. I get to cultivate young minds and earn a living! That is a wonderful thing!
