Many years ago , I was hit by an aggressive wave of depression. It was so crippling that I found it hard to breathe properly.

Early in my teaching career, I decided to take some time off from teaching in order to pursue an MBA degree full time. I enrolled in an excellent program in a different state that would require an 100-mile round trip by car to attend classes that met in the late afternoon until night.
