Absolutely. That is why I am glad that my dad does what he does--he works in education, and has the opportunity to be a role model to thousands of students in his 40 year career. I'd like to believe that he has had an impact on those kids, and given that I've had the opportunity to talk to some of his former students, I know he has reached some for a fact.
