Thanks everyone. David, to answer your question... I have been coaching speech and debate for three years now, with quite a bit of success. I have been doing this while still attending college. Balancing both has been a real struggle. GPA has suffered a bit. Otherwise, I would likely have a 4.0 rather than a 3.8. I will be graduating in December but since I was offered the job I can petition to do my student teaching as a teacher of record, which is a very rare opportunity! I applied just to let them know I was interested and to see how far along in the process I could get, not even imagining that they would hire me... but they did. And I am so excited!

Funny you should mention that. In the past three years working at the school, I have become known as the "weather guy". Students and even teachers will often ask me about the weather before a big storm, cold snap, heat wave, etc. It is quite humorous.
