I haven’t had to bail a student out yet, I guess that means I’m a decent role model. Had you told me years ago that I would be teaching high school I would have laughed. I’ll be honest though, it the best job I’ve ever had. I love my years in the Marines and even the Army but after I got out, I never thought I’d be in a position to lead and influence again. Then I met my wife, an elementary school English teacher and she changed my mind enjoying her Spring Break, summer vacation, Thanksgiving, and Christmas breaks as I worked.

Seriously though, I’m in it for the kids, the breaks are just a pleasant bonus!
