“I currently teach Honors Biology and Human Anatomy and Physiology, [and] it’s my 21st year. I feel they are different from the other science classes because biology is the study of life and what makes us, so it’s pretty interesting. At school, there might be kids [who] go to the deep end on the first day, and [they] might fall to the bottom, but they stick with it. [I also coach] girls’ cross country, and [I’ve] learned a lot from [that] along with teaching. [I might get] somebody [who] can't run a lap around the track on day one, but they stick with it for four years, [so] they get faster and they get better. Teaching wise, I’m sure I’ve had impacts on kids [as they] grow into students and athletes. So [despite] all the drama at the end of the day, it’s about the kids, and [when they] come back and appreciate what [I’ve] done for them, it's a good feather in [my] cap.” -Charles Cutelli, Science
