Epiphany

I've had an epiphany of sorts.

It all started 25 years ago for me, when I did my practicum teaching with Jack Kennedy at City High in Iowa City. That's when I fell in love with journalism education -- when I saw this man make magic happen in his school newspaper. He went on to win many awards and will become the President of the JEA tomorrow.

And I got to listen to this wonderful man for four straight, glorious days as he pontificated about advising publications. . .and now I'm hooked again.

Hook, line, and sinker.

I want to change the world again. I want to teach talented kids about the first amendment and the power of the press.

I want to do what I thought I was stuck doing.

It was a truly epiphanous experience, and I hope this feeling lasts.
