QUOTE: People want to know how I started Teach For

People want to know how I started Teach For America straight out of college, and honestly, my greatest asset was my inexperience. It proved absolutely critical at many junctures. When I declared in my thesis that I would try to create this corps myself, my thesis adviser pronounced me “deranged.” When he looked at my budget of $2.5 million for the first year, he asked me if I knew how hard it was to raise $2,500, let alone two and a half million dollars. But aided by my inexperience, I was unfazed by these reactions. When school district officials literally laughed at the notion that the Me Generation — this was the label for my generation — would jump at the chance to teach in urban and rural communities, their concerns, too, went unheard. My very greatest asset was that I simply did not understand what was impossible.

Makes me remember the time I went to Denny's in Everett, WA. I didn't want bacon on my burger. The waitress was horrified, and brought me the bacon on a side plate because I had paid for it and she was sure that someone else would want to eat it.

He's referring to a Buffalo Bill who was paralyzed in an on-field accident moving his arms and legs... the clip is close, but not quite...

Bringing pyromania to a higher level...

I certainly learned a lot.
