I graduated with a B.A. in History and minors in Philosophy and Political Science. My friend's big joke was that I was qualified to "think deep thoughts about my unemployability." So I got my teaching credential and have taught 8th grade U.S. History for the past 9 years. I NEVER thought I'd be a teacher when I was growing up, but I actually love it and am good at it and have a real connection with the age group that I work with (13-15 years old). I'm two classes and about 1/4 of a thesis away from my Masters in Education, Instructional Technology.
