Wk4-2 DB Quickies: my dream teaching/presentation environment

At this point, I would say I am working in my dream job.  I love working on a Christian college campus with young people who still feel like they can change the world.  The dreams and passion they bring to the table inspire me everyday.  Of course there are many thing I would still like to have in the position I am in (Live Production HD system, studio for producing material, industry standard equipment, endless budget), but these things will not make my dream job.  They would be fun to work with and allow us to produce better product, but the dream is in the students not the equipment. 

It is easy for me to get lost in the new technology, and I have to constantly remind myself I am here for the students; they are the dream.
