Before I post my weekly reflection, I thought I would try something new in this section. I chose to embed a video, as Louie demonstrated last Tuesday. I selected a "Field Of Dreams" YouTube clip for several reasons. First, I love the movie because of the way it brings happiness to the banned Black Sox. Second, Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, Burt Lancaster, and James Earl Jones are fantastic. Third, I have visited the film site in Dyersville, Iowa, and can almost feel the presence of the ghost players walking out of the tall corn. Finally, this clip hits upon the importance of hearing the call to our profession, as Doc "Moonlight" Graham does in this scene. Here is the video:
After 20 fascinating and fun years in retailing, I made my career change and have never regretted it. I believe I am "making a difference" with my students, just as Doc Graham made a difference in saving the little girl.
Check out this picture from the summer of 2006 when our summer fastpitch team visited the movie site. Fortunately, 38 and 17 did reappear!
