Hello Mr. Levine, I wanted to let you know that I will most likely try to become a history teacher for high school or to be a professor, and that you were my inspiration because you were the spark the lit the flame for my love for history and I thank you greatly for that!
I know that I recently posted about a similar event in my life, but this one took me by great surprise.
This was sent to me via Facebook Messenger in the past week. I love this for many reasons.
1. This came from a male student. Most of my students that go on to become teachers have been female.
2. This student was a good student, but struggled with academics and attention. He was able to become more of a student with the addition of more life.
3. He wants to become a history teacher. He knows that this means teaching content AND skills!
I am proud of him.
I am a little proud of me.
I am thankful that I exist in a situation where I can inspire.
Be Mindful.
Peace.
Mark Levine

Not at all surprised! My daughter still talks about your class and how much she learned about History and life.This is as she prepares to graduate H.S.this year. Definitely a huge influence in her life. What a great Gift to have, to be able to have such a positive impact on a person's life. GREAT job!
