My younger sister did just as well in math and science in high school as I did, but she had no interest in engineering or science, much to our father’s chagrin. She got her BS and MS in education, specializing in literacy. I can’t even begin to tell you how proud of her I am! I got to sit in on one of her classes a couple of years ago. The skill and patience she exhibited were unbelievable. She had these rowdy kids with special needs organized and fully-engaged. During the summer, she teaches OTHER special ed teachers, many of whom are at private schools where the parents spend mega-bucks to send their little darlings. I’m SO glad she followed her passion and took some of those silly classes at UT.
