This is my first post for EDM310 at South and also my first official class at South. I'm very excited about continuing my degree. Elementary Education is my major and I can hardly wait to graduate. I am looking forward to getting out of retail and starting a fulfilling and rewarding career as a teacher.
First, a little background info. I was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. I'm 33 years old, on my second marriage, and my wife and I have eight children between us. Literally, hers, mine, and ours. I had four children from my first marriage and she had three. We recently had a baby boy together. We've been married for a year and a half now.
My first job was the US Army. I served from August 1994 to January 1999. I was trained as a M1A1 tank crewman. I spent my entire enlistment stationed at the National Training Center in the Mojave desert in southern California. After leaving the Army I came back home to Alabama and I got into retail with Walmart for a few years. I left the retail sector to go to school. I attended Brownsville Revival School of Ministry in Pensacola, Florida. I felt like the LORD was calling me to preach. I graduated BRSM in 2003 with a degree in Pastoral Theology. The door never seemed to open for a position or maybe I did not push hard enough. Nonetheless, I then went back into retail, worked for Walmart again for a few years, and then started working for Target about three years ago.
I made up my mind to go back to school and become a teacher. Teaching has always come natural to me and I have a tremendous amount of patience. I started school the summer semester of 2007 and I am now half-way as of the beginning of spring semester 2009. I hope to be finished by the end of summer 2010.
That's all I've got for now!
