I’ve been at this a long time.

I learned to be a pretty proficient singer and a passable actor.  I worked very, very hard at it.

I started teaching in college thirty-seven years ago.  I’ve taught at a small private university, a major state research university, a mid-size private university, and at two mid-sized state universities.  I learned to be a very good university professor.  I am a very good classroom teacher.  I am a great studio voice teacher.  I had good teachers as models.  I understand learning styles.

It is a lot more difficult to live life effectively.  There are many distractions.  When my mom died, it put me off the path.  I haven’t been able to find my way.

It is a continual job.  It will never end because one can never learn enough about how to live.
