Description : This memoir provides a peek into what it's like to be a physics teacher, illustrating how teaching can transcend a profession and become a lifetime passion. The book begins with the author's early years in Massachusetts as an amateur boxer and sign painter, before being drafted into the US Army in Colorado. After being discharged from service, he ventured into uranium prospecting but had no luck striking it rich and returning to Boston. Instead, he started pursuing education with the aid of the GI Bill, despite it being rather late. He recounts the rough spots he faced as a student, which ultimately led to his decision to pursue a career in teaching, beginning at City College of San Francisco.
