When asked about his dream job
as a kid , Mr . Haveman remembered clearly that he wanted to be a truck driver . He recalled , saying , ? I wanted to be a truck driver just like my dad .? Like most kids as they enter adulthood , his dream job changed . He discovered , during his first two years of college , that he was meant to be a teacher . While coaching high schoolers , he found that he loved working with kids . The experience clearly made the difference in his career choice . f avo r it e Bibl e q uo t e :
