I became a teacher in 1994. Teaching high school science became my passion. Few things match the feeling of sharing a student's "aha moment!" While math and science are important, performing arts and art classes develop mental maturity. Self evaluation; 'is that good enough?' 'can I do better?' 'how can I do better?' develop personal honesty and demands you strive for your best in all disciplines.

George C. Marshall - Revolutionized victor/conquered relationship
Abraham Lincoln - self-explanatory. Many are trying to rewrite his position on slavery ... they're wrong.
George Washington - won few battles, but kept the British engaged until they wore down. I believe he was the first leader of a country to voluntarily step down.
Harry Truman. 90 days as Vice President, he was ignored by FDR. 91st day, he was President. In 149 days, Truman had to learn about and determine whether America would use atomic weaponry. History proved he did the right thing most of the time. Very difficult decisions were made in the middle of an almost constant withering barrage of criticism. They were based on moral standards, not effect on future elections. If they had polls, harry Truman's numbers would not have shined.
