Chasing a Dream
The Chicago Sun-Times had a wonderful article today about Darren Erman, one of my Zeta Beta Tau brothers from Emory.
Darren chose to give up his career as an attorney a prestigious Chicago law firm to chase his dream of becomming a basketball coach. His journey took him to St. Anthony's High School in New Jersey, where he coaches under Bob Hurley and teaches environmental science for 1/6 of his former salary. Despite sleeping on an air mattress on a friend's floor and living out of his car, he loves his new life.
Many of us dream of chasing a dream like this. Few of us have the guts to do so. There are times I'd love to move to Mexico, or go to culinary school. So far, those are only dreams... To those like Darren who take the leap, I wish you good luck!
