Hello all. This is my first voyage into blogging. I will share my thoughts about my journey in education thus far. Hopefully anyone that chooses to read will gain some insight and possibly do some self reflection.

I graduated college with a degree in Electronics Engineering Technology in 2002. I had an inkling that I wanted to become a teacher in the fall of my Junior year. My classmates and I had several difficult classes in our coursework which required several hours of study. We would often get together to study in groups. This is where I first received feedback on my ability to communicate to help others better understand content. I began to think about seriously pursuing teaching, but I had no desire to switch my major and spend more time in undergrad. After graduating I moved to Texas to live with my Uncle. I began working at a company that repaired cellphones and pagers. I enrolled in classes at Texas Woman’s University to begin my quest in education. One day I visited the administration office of Denton Independent School District to inquire about substitute teaching. While there one of the ladies shared with me information about alternative certification. I was elated! I could complete a one year program as opposed to completing coursework for a second bachelors. This is where my journey truly began.
