My Service in the Navy Sparked a Lifelong Interest in Other Cultures
Contributed by Lou Nachman, Charlotte Mecklenburg School District, NC
Teacher Lou Nachman discusses how his experiences overseas in the Navy changed him from an indifferent student to embrace life as a teacher and enthusiastic traveler.
For Nachman, works of literature such as Big Fish or To Kill a Mockingbird forge an appreciation of human connections in the midst of apparent differences. In doing so, he says, they urge us to reflect on our own place in the world: how do we think, and how do we want to think?
