We are not always born with tremendous talents or knowing our passions. Some times it takes trial and error and hours of repetitive practice before we fall in love with an activity. Essentially, we “learn to love.” We call the teachers around us “great” because they help us do just that – they invest their energies into their passions, teaching us how wonderful those passions, like math, science, and art, really are. They teach us to recognize and love our passions.

Things I really enjoy now weren’t always enjoyable. It took discipline to get to the point of passion. I’ve learned to love reading, running, writing, evaluating, and yes, even numerous aspects of nursing.
