<human>: The road to this current opportunity has been twisted and surprising, to say the least. I graduated from a Big Ten school in June 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Genetics. After a year off back home, I entered a genetic counseling Master's Program but left the program after deciding the field was much too serious and repetitive for my "vivacious" personality. Leaving the program was hard, but realizing that I had no plan B as a 23 year old college grad moving back home was even harder. 

During my year after undergrad, I worked as a Math Tutor at a community college and a substitute teacher at the high school I attended. It always brought me joy to help students understand a concept or to be in front of the classroom, leading a discussion. I figured it was time to take a step down the road to an education career. After I called my old high school principal, fate slapped me in the face. There was an opening at the High School for a long-term substitute teacher to take over for the entire second half of the academic year. The sub would have to teach: Biology and Genetics! I interviewed for and secured the position a few weeks ago. I still can't believe my luck. It's hard to not see this as a sign.

My question to you Reddit, is how can I be the best teacher for these students? I'm incredibly passionate about science, specifically biological sciences. I want to deliver the information in an engaging way that peaks student interest without crossing into the "fun" class that doesn't merit respect from the students.

If all goes well, I will return to graduate school for education, but I must try my hand at it before I pick a new career path.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
