Journal Article

Overview
When Herold started her post-undergraduate career as a classroom educator, she recalls stating in her job interview that she wanted to make a difference in her students' lives. Today that strikes her as very Pollyannaish, but she was a twenty-two-year-old newly degreed English major with a Behavioral Science concentration who chose to read fairy tales, fantasy, science fiction, and romance as her elective reading. She was energetic and optimistic. She probably still is several decades and a different career later. It's rather ironic that when she was teaching, she took for granted the thanks of appreciative parents and notes and gifts of current and former students. She was immersed in the daily work of lesson planning, grading, and reading the history textbook to keep ahead of her students. It wasn't until she was teaching history that she took a college history course.
