The Journey Begins
Well, I did it. I quit my job as a programmer so I can become a teacher. I have no experience teaching, aside from TA'ing an astronomy lab in college, but I think it's what I want to do.
A little about me. I graduated from TCU in 2000 with a degree in Physics. Since then I've been a Unix System Administrator for AT&T Wireless, and a platform programmer for GE Healthcare. I've had enough of the IT world. I can't stand the thought of having another job where all I do is sit in front of a computer all day telling the computers what to do. I was very good at my jobs, don't get me wrong, and I still like computers; I just don't care about them as much as I used to, and I don't want to be in charge of them anymore. My goal is to become a high school math and physics teacher (NOT a computer teacher).
I have a plan for getting from here to there. Well, a fuzzy plan that's entirely in my head, but a plan no less. I'll be expanding on it here where anyone who cares can keep track of how I'm doing.
Welcome to the ride. It should be interesting.
