One big reason I want (-ed?) to teach is to inspire people the way I was inspired by a few of my teachers when I was younger. My current job doesn’t let me do this as much I would like, but from the one year I’ve worked full time at my current job, I may have touched one life in an unexpected sort of way.
To you I say, keep it up — the online writing as well as the music.
And it’s the thrill of “getting through” to that one person that keeps me doing what I do, whatever that may be.
