Someone I met today is a STEM teacher.

He grew up poor in Detroit, Michigan. He went to college and dropped his 3.9 GPA to 2.something because his roommate won the lottery. He took forever to graduate college and he got there.

I watched him present, and his demeanor when talking about something he thought was alright. It was bored, rushed, and unenthused. When it was about STEM though, he had a different kind of enthusiasm. It's nice to see that passion.

I don't think everyone can be passionate about everything. When you're passionate about something, it consumes you. Could you imagine being consumed by everything?
