Hi my name is Joe. I don't work in a button factory but I do have a boss that always asks me if I am busy. Most times I do tell him no, but I should probably tell him that I am more often. Like most teachers, I am over worked and under paid. However, our current society seems to believe that educators have it all. I have been teaching for 9 years and for the most part have loved every minute of my job. I attend college at IUPl, SUNY Geneseo, and Wilkes Univ. Currently I am seeking certification in flying helicopters at the commercial level. I don't plan on leaving teaching but I want to fly. I am involved in the Army National Guard and currently a 2nd LT. I love playing sports, running, working out, being around friends and family, and traveling (no beaches though). I don't have cable tv (hate watching sports), hate cell smart phones, but am a high tech math teacher. I know I'm weird. I just think that the world has lost site of one of the most important things in life and that is human interaction. I have two class until I top out at my district's pay scale but I don't think that I will ever be done learning.
