Igniting Passion Through Personal Experience There are moments in our life that ignite passion and seeds begin to develop whether we realize it at the time or not. Sometimes those seeds sprout at a young age, and that was the case for Terry Kass, CTE Cosmetology I Instructor at Lake County High Schools Technology Campus in Grayslake, Illinois. The first seed began to take root when she was in the basement of a neighborhood friend’s house whose mother was an in-home beautician. She and her friend would sit in the basement, watching Ms. Otto work her magic, making clients feel beautiful while laughing, talking, and having fun. The sprout continued to grow while on vacation with a family friend whose aunt owned a wig salon. Terry remembers being taken to the salon and recalls the forest of wigs that were being styled to perfection for customers to pick up. Terry thought it was simply “the coolest thing since sliced bread.” It was these experiences that ignited Terry’s passion and compelled her to want to help others discover their calling. And with the help of eDynamic Learning, she is doing just that.
