I had lunch today with a former student, and now banker, who sat in my classes twenty three years ago. I also got an email from a young lady who reached out to me after twenty five years. Now these good people are family men and women with grown up children, and productive lives. They validate the reason why I found my passion in teaching.
As we celebrate the graduation of another six hundred odd students, I can’t help but think back to the time that has flown by quickly. In May, I will celebrate thirty years at UT. Sometimes I lose track of time gone by — maybe because, even as I get older, the students seem to stay young and full of promise. And I have more minds to educate, and lives to touch.
