Returning to School (Video)

You may have seen this before, but it's a really great inspiration for starting the school year!

This is how I will be formatting videos on this blog. The time at the bottom are the parts of the video that I think are the most important. Feel free to watch the whole video, but only NEED you to watch the time frame shown.

When I assign a video, I would recommend keeping some notes on the video to use during class discussion! Get after those participation points!

Path to Teaching:
Here are the boring details! It's a bit of a long story, but it's been a very enjoyable ride. I graduated from UCHS in 2008 then I went to IUPUI my freshman year, pursuing Computer Programming. I then switched majors to Social Work, wanting to make a difference in the world. After my freshman year, I transferred to Ball State. At Ball State, I pursued Accounting for two years. I definitely have a strength with numbers and business. I ended up transferring to IU East for my Senior year and I graduated from there in 2012. I majored in Business Administration with a minor in Entrepreneurship. After graduating, I worked in retail management for a few years and then got into the recruiting field. From there, I realized that the occupation I had always been looking for was teaching! It's perfect! Suits all my needs and my strengths. I am so excited to get started!
