At the age of 40, Tom Bloch was the head of H&R Block, a huge company that helps people prepare their tax forms. He was very successful. Although Bloch earned a lot of money, he wasn't have enough time to spend with his family. Suddenly, he left H&R Block and became a teacher in a poor neighborhood. "I wanted to help people who didn't have the opportunities I had, "Bloch explained.
Learning to control the students was hard at first. But the rewards - helping children and hearing students say he's their favorite teacher - are great. And Bloch is able to spend more time with his family.
For eleven years, Tom Neale worked as a lawyer, and his wife, Mel, worked as a teacher, They saved money to buy a boat. That was seventeen years ago, and except occasional stop, they have been at sea ever since.
For the Neale's and their two daughters, the difficulties of their lifestyles are very real : There's not much money so meals are often rice and beans (and fish!). Strom's are dangerous, especially when the boat if far from land. But Tom Neale says overcoming dangers together as a family is one of the rewards of their way of life. Another, he says, is "seeing the starfish on the bottom of the sea in the moonlight."
