Congratulations, Zeke! Multiple stories in this post deeply resonated with me. This line especially brought me to tears: "The belief required to reach this stage of my career developed one drop at a time." I'm lucky to call you my professor, and glad that I share your sister's name :)

Huge congratulations! Your kindness and sincerity is so genuine. I loved this essay and also your book - when I read the words you write I am filled with emotion because the words ring so true. Thank you for your example and for sharing your heartfelt feelings.

Because it wasn't mentioned, I just have to say, Professor Hernandez' teaching ability is unparalleled. While being an absolutely incredible teacher probably won't get you a call from Wharton, it can definitely have a permanent and lasting impact on a humble student in MGMT 100 (to this day I use bounded cognition, externalities, moral hazard, etc. to understand the world). Cheers!
