DESCRIPTION:
A little rap I put down to end a 3-day substitute teaching assignment at North High in Bakersfield (Oildale), CA, after getting inspired by students. It tells of my hustle of making it as a credentialed teacher with a job after having transformed myself by going back to school when I was laid off as a graphic designer from the newspaper industry. The personal journey helped to make me a stronger person, overcoming financial struggles, and through it, turned me onto some of my neglected talents—such as rapping. Thanks North High for inspiring me to polish my skills.
