No Longer Dreading It!

This morning on the way to English, I was thinking about the profile paper we would have to do some time this month and how I was dreading it. I was thinking about how I would more than likely have to interview a person I have never met before, which would be very awkward and nerve-wrecking, because I make a big deal out of everything. But as I was thinking, I remembered a teacher I had my sophomore year. His name was Mr. Kendall and he was a younger guy in his 20s, and he loved The Beatles. I totally forgot about him teaching us Biology; probably because that year we had about 4 different Biology teachers. Suddenly my anxiety and dread for this paper vanished, and excitement came over me. I contacted him on Facebook, because we talk every now and then, and I asked him if he would be willing to do an interview. He said he would be happy to do it and for me to just let him know when I wanted to interview him. Right now he is in India, and it was not too long ago he was in Africa, so I will have to do the interview through e-mail. I think it is so cool how he gets to travel around the world. It's funny because before I knew I wanted to major in Biology, I really had no interest in him. I just thought of him as my cool, young, down to earth Biology teacher. But now that I am majoring in Biology, I have a whole new perspective of him and am more interested in where Biology has taken him in life.
