. . . now that I've lived my life . . . I see the greatest gift lost to me was to become a teacher . . . to teach someone the love of learning . . . to open expanses for others . . . then there are no limits to a life . . . I wouldn't have dropped out of college . . . gotten my teaching degree . . . continued my writing . . . and put my art aside . . . I did manage to homeschool my sons for six years and see them assimilate into regular schools with high markings . . . it was then I realized the awesomeness of teaching someone how to read, how to write, history and math . . .
