A South Loop high school teacher is swapping lesson plans for boxing gloves this Thanksgiving break, making his pro debut in California. Brendan Lally, just 23, is facing off against the son of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao—talk about a wild way to spend your holiday! Lally says the discipline and resilience he brings to the classroom are the same skills he’s taking into the ring. It’s a reminder that passion can take you in unexpected directions. What do you think: Would you ever chase a dream that’s totally outside your day job? #Sports #Wrestling #Chicago
