Most twentysomethings are too bogged down in student loan repayment or first-job jitters to think about much else,  but Paula Wallace was an exception.  At age 29, she quit her job as a grade school teacher, and she started the Savannah College of Art and Design, w hich would become one of Georgia's most respected universities. Thirty-eight years later, the school has campuses and classes in Savannah, Atlanta, Hong Kong, and France. Paula Wallace shares an excerpt from her new memoir, “The Bee and the Acorn."
