First post of the year!!

Wow..just realized I haven't posted on this blog for A LONG TIME! I guess I had a lot of things to do since the last post.

Anyways, I did a little personal job history check today, and...I have been teaching for a long time now! I never expected to be in this field for 10+ years, now. Many people who get into the English teaching field usually get out in a couple of years. Those who travel abroad to teach English only do it for a short time and then return to their home country and do another career. Surprisingly, when I returned from teaching in Japan, I actually stuck with it. I also improved my ability to teach my craft. I have begun to realize that I need to continue learning about my craft and study more about the career choice I chose.

Because of this, I realized that I need to go back to school and join organizations that help people like me improve on their skills to give the best, effective lessons and knowledge to students. I guess you can call it my new years resolution. Will I succeed? You betcha!! I have a strong support system (my wife and family), and I also have a strong will. Just like Rob Schneider said in the movie "Waterboy"...."You can do it!!!"
