I do have ideals of trying to change the world somewhat, you know, make something of a difference through teaching and certainly through, in through practicing. I mean, I teach and I do have a small practice and keep worrying that the IRS is going to consider it a hobby if I don't get more stuff built, but it's pretty hard to get commissions and teach full time. I do feel that I can help make ideas understandable, and I can certainly help students to fall in love with what is unfortunately a worse and worse profession to get involved with. Education is something that I am very interested in and I do feel I'm good at, and I enjoy working, I love nothing more than giving a really good lecture and the feeling of satisfaction of knowing and seeing that the audience was absolutely there with me and appreciating it. Or just sitting down with one student at a desk and having a really great desk crit where there's interaction back and forth. But I got into architecture through a love of buildings and a love of spaces and of making things. I have built a few things. I very much want to build more. I feel very conflicted between trying to teach, write, and build.
