I'VE been teaching for 36 years — the longest job I've had. But because I stayed here longest, that means I love this job. I admire those who've spent 40 years teaching without repeating themselves. They've taught for 40 different years, not just one year repeated 40 times. Teachers like the late Prof. Emmanuel "Eric" Torres come to mind.
