Kevin's Story
Life
I took the long path from high school to my current career, education. Wanting to go to college but having been told by counselors that there was no future in my choosen field (teaching) I decided to put it off. Many years later I was walking the beach in Saugatuck with a friend. He told me that I should go into teaching as he felt it was a natural for me.
