Math Teacher, Dr. DeMarinis. “Halfway through the semester my college professor took a sabbatical. I thought he was going to ask me to teach, but he asked this graduate student. The students who had known me asked me if I could teach the main lecture. That’s how I got started, actually. I went to the head of the department and asked if it would be okay if I could teach the main lecture of the course, and there I was, 19 years old, teaching in a room that had amphitheater seats with about 100 students in the class. I had a microphone and I taught them microeconomics.”
