You're as Important as a Brain Surgeon. don't believe it? Listen in!

Hey everyone, welcome back to JumpStart. If you’ve been here before, you know I love watching documentaries, especially medical stories.  Nursing was my number two choice of a career, but I knew the hours would make my family life difficult to impossible.  

I chose to teach.  Both occupations have their heartbreaks and moments of joy.   

Lenox Hill is my favorite. Two incredible neurosurgeons solve people’s health issues, usually cancer.  There’s a phrase, that teaching children to read is rocket science, not quite, but we are as involved in changing their brains.  True, we can’t unzip them and see where the wires are crossed, where the green wire has joined with blue or black, creating havoc as children struggle to learn.  While we aren’t getting under their skin literally, we are changing the connections in their brain every day.
