*Computer/Business Teacher*
Q: Why did you decide to be a teacher?
A: “I did it because I felt my third year in college that I was headed towards being a computer major. I just felt a calling to help in a bigger way, and I thought teaching would be a good way to do that.”
Q: How do you deal with a stressful day?
A: “If it’s really stressful, I’ll go for a hike or a long drive.”
Q: What is your most interesting, high school memory?
A: “For our senior prank, my class and I made paper dummies of different teachers. We then set up a living room inside the courtyard. The dummies had different messages of what they taught; it was really funny.”
Q: If you could change your career, what would it be?
A: “I guess it would be something in the computer field.”
Q: What is your funniest, teaching memory?
A: “When I was a first year teacher, I was teaching at a Catholic school, and I was all excited and full of energy. A couple of the kids tied a string across the doorway, and I came bouncing in, and I tripped over the string. It was pretty funny.”
Q: What was your biggest setback in life?
A: “I don’t view anything as a real setback. I think everyone goes through hard times, but each hard time you go through is a learning moment.”
