An ambitious musician takes a teaching job as a temporary gig, only to find himself still there decades later. As years pass, his dreams shift from personal success to shaping the lives of his students. Balancing family struggles and professional frustrations, he slowly realizes the impact he’s had all along. It’s about legacy, sacrifice, and the quiet ways people change the world. Commissioned by Robert H. 3/2/26
