Congrats

Congratulations to me!

I've been promoted to be a coach for the PTP team.  I'm excited.  After taking the self-assessment I see that I still need to grow as an educator, but I really enjoy coaching teachers with technology.  It's pretty cool too.

From a standpoint of where I am today to where I was in college is starkly different.  For a little while in my life I thought that I was going to pursuit college and a career in law.  Then I decided I wanted to teach -- I was actually backed into a corner with nothing else to look at so I picked it as a final alternative.

I took education classes and fell in love.  I didn't realize that I was meant to do something in life, but the more I do with education the more enthralled I am by it.  I love working with students.  I think it's probably why I took the Help Desk job; it gives me an opportunity to pursuit another passion of technology and working with students.

I don't believe that I could be doing anything better.  Now I get to take that to the next level; I can help other teachers utilize digital resources to help improve their own instruction.  I didn't think that I would be able to do something that amazing so early in my career.  But then again, I didn't think I'd be in education 10 years ago.  But -- now that I'm here... I won't go anywhere.
