Globalization at firsthand - having guys from India and Brazil assist me with some really simple Oracle database question at work.

Pretty awesome thing happened today. I left work early to go to the DMV to get some paperwork done. On the way out of the place a man came up to me and asked "Are you Alan?" I replied "Yes...Do I know you?" He said his name is Bryan and that he was in my Statistics class 3 years ago at SDSU. At first I was having a hard time remembering him, but then the fact that there weren't too many black students in my class back then made it pretty easy to recognize him. Bryan said that he spent so many hours studying and couldn't stop thanking me for passing the class (he got a C) that he hated so much. Apparently that class would have prevented him from graduating if he didn't pass.

It's comment like Bryan's that made me miss teaching so much, and I'm sure that this is the same reason educators love their job so much more than other professions.
