From rock and rolling to grading papers. This is the story of Daniel Iannacci, a once up-incoming band member to a history teacher. He went from traveling the states and to deciding to change occupations because of the challenges he faced as a father.
While Mr. Iannacci is currently a teacher; he was once an inspiring band member. He traveled the states going from stage to stage. As Mr. Iannacci wanted to pursue his life as a band member, he was struggling with the aspect of his hectic schedule and after he had kids it was even more difficult to maintain. He decided to put his band life behind him and go for a job that could be reliable and that schedule could better fit into his life. Mr. Iannacci was struggling in the beginning of his life. Getting kicked out of two high schools and later dropping out of college. But then rejoining after deciding to change his career path. After all the struggles and the journey he endured, he was able to finally forge his own path and was able to fill in the role/responsibilities of a History teacher here in Hillcrest High School.
