6 Things You Should Know About Me.
Sports
I like most sports, but the sport that I really focus my attention on is football. I am a fan of the Denver Broncos which has brought me some of the happiest moments of my fandom and also some of the most gut-wrenching upsets. I have been a fan of the Broncos since I was a kid watching Terrell Davis and John Elway dominate the NFL and win back to back Superbowls. Besides the Broncos and Football, I also follow the NBA and UFC pretty closely as more of a fan of the individual sports than any one team.
History
If my focus in Social Studies didn’t already make it obvious, I really love history. At this point, it’s hard to envision a future where I am not trying to engage and influence students. I am particularly interested in American and Modern European History, although I am trying to become more well rounded in Ancient History.
Technology
Where would I be without Google… most definitely not in Graduate School that’s for sure. I am not ashamed to admit that I am addicted to technology and am always looking to update and upgrade. I often find myself lost on my phone, computer, or Xbox for a longer time than I had ever planned on.
School
Although I don’t consider myself particularly great at it, I love school. I have had very good luck throughout my college career and have had classrooms full of interesting people who add positive experiences and observations to a discussion. I am someone who needs to talk about what they have read to feel like I have a better understanding of a text so class for me provides a place that can help to give me a better conceptualization of the topic at hand.
My Dog
My Dog is my life. His name is Charlie and he is a 2 (going on 3) year old Golden Retriever/ Perfect Dog. My perfect day is spent sleeping in with my pup and then spending a lazy afternoon outside hanging out in the shade.
Friends & Family
Lastly, I don’t know where I would be without my friends and girlfriend. This is my ultimate support team and I don’t know what I would do without a group as close as ours. Most of my time outside of work and school is spent hanging out with friends and the people I love.
