About Me
At the time of this writing (Feb 2010) I'm 25, looking into the future at 26. This is a fun age to be because old people think I'm too young and young people think I'm too old.
I graduated college with an English lit degree, but much of my time in college was spent majoring in English Education, too.
As the fates turn their twisted smile to me, I now work as a substitute teacher - mostly in the junior and senior high of local districts. Between you and me, I rather don't mind working in the trenches, I've been learning much (patience, picking your own battles, not throwing objects...at people, etc etc).
Someday, when I get really important, I'll learn to write in third person.
My Awards & Certifications
Patience....patience.
My Experience
Degree in English Literature.
Three years majoring in Education (so I got to take 99% of all those fun required education classes mandated by the education laws in Pennsylvania).
Substitute teacher.
Certified tutor.
Pretty darned handy in MS Office.
