A friend of mine once remarked about what we do at community colleges, “It feels like you have your hands in the dirt right now, but you know, one day, there will be flowers.” I agree. If you’re one of us who works in education because you’re really passionate about the cause, you know that you’re not just laying bricks, you’re helping to construct the edifice. Sometimes it’s dirty, sometimes it’s filthy, but it’s worth it.
