Late!

I think this assignment is late. That really bums me out. I think all assignments are should be due no later than class time on the days the class meets. Get real. That's why I want to be a teacher. So I can establish rules that I felt beaten up over.

Just kidding... not really though.

As you may or may not have seen in the introduce yourself section - I've always wanted to be a teacher. I don't know why, but I generally don't question my gut feelings. I've been happy with my decision to want to be come a teacher since I was about ten, so I think I'm on the right path.

I love High School. I loved going, I hated graduation and leaving. It was lame. I had such a positive experience and so much of that was excellent teachers. I want to give that experience. I want to be a part of someone's life who I don't know. Someone who is forced to sit in front of me. I think that's a great challenge. To educate, and win over an unsympathetic audience. Not for personal satisfaction, but from knowing that a good teacher can motivate you to do so much.

I attended Cornerstone for two years, dropped out for two years, and now I'm back. Even though my path is not without deviations, I'm glad to be here. For a over a year my wife and I started teaching the High School Sunday School class in our church. This amazing connection with them is what drove me back to school. I love interacting and learning alongside them.

This is seriously golden stuff. If I get late points for this, done at 10:00am when my class isn't until 6:00pm, I will burn with a dark anger and furious rage. That's a bit strong, but all good things are strong. Coffee, Professional Wrestlers, Diamonds, Gorillas, etc.
