KANSAS CITY, MO — When I was in college, I had this “horrible” professor. She always called on me for the hard questions, only to pick apart my answers. Meanwhile, my homework bled from her red marks. I remember lamenting to a friend, who told me, “That’s the professor you’ll remember as your favorite. When you look back, you’ll see she taught you the most.”
My friend was right. While I still receive some doses of red marks and get torn down every now and then, it’s all part of the learning journey. And the lessons — even the hard ones — come from people who care deeply about their craft and this industry.
