I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to teach. I just couldn’t find a task thatI liked enough to teach to someone else. I suppose that sounds a bit odd, but it’s the truth. I thought about going to school, even though I didn’t like history, geography, or any other subject enough to want to teach it. I was laboring with my dad one summer. I loved how patient he was with me, as he told me all about the air conditioning units that he was laboring on. I had never had a teacher like my dad. That was what provided me the bug to be a teacher. Every time I was with my dad, I l earned more. I soon realized that it wasn’t being a teacher that had me so excited, but the fact that I was studying so much while having fun. I just wanted to be like my dad. When I told this to my dad, he was happy. He asked me if I wanted to toil in his Heating, Ventilation, & A/C corporation with him. I wasn’t sure if this was the right transfer for me, even though I wanted to toil with him while in the summers & weekends. That was nearly fifteen years ago. I am still laboring with my dad, but now I am training newly certified Heating, Ventilation, & A/C techs. I remember how patient my dad was with me & I put those same kind words & that patience into the boys & women I toil with. The two of us have a very successful Heating, Ventilation, & A/C corporation. My dad says it has a lot to do with me, & how well I train the modern hires. I am finally fulfilling my dream of being a teacher.
