520			_a"Ricardo Lira Acuna, 34, had switched vocations. He had been a fledgling writer, and creative writing was still important to him. But now, as an intern in a Los Angeles Unified School District program for career changers and college graduates without training in education, he was a teacher. His five English classes at Marshall High School in Los Feliz were a challenge beyond anything he had encountered. Three of his students were especially demanding of his time, his patience, his energy and, most of all, his idealism. In different ways, each was like he had been: None were rich, two were Latino and one was very bright. They and other students, particularly the lethargic, the recalcitrant and the unruly, were wearing him out. Bureaucracy, paperwork and his internship classes at night and on weekends were frustrating him. His most trusted and available mentor was his wife, also a teacher, but his difficulties were affecting their relationship. Writing still beckoned. But so did his students. Ricardo Acuna was torn." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) The author discusses Acuna's ambivalence about his new career in part two of this three-article series.
