hold grudges (hmm... at least not for long) and enjoy
I am not perfect and I do not know everything. I will make typos in my e-mails, share stupid jokes that fall flat, and answer many questions with, “I don’t know.” I am human (until proven otherwise). If you expect teachers to know it all and be perfect, you will want to find someone else to explore with on your journey into learning. I will annoy people and maybe - just maybe - they may sometimes annoy me. It's likely not on purpose; I get that. Maybe that's one of the interesting aspects of education. Sadly, some instructors seem to forget to be honest and put that out front sometimes. If you prefer to have someone tell you what to do step-by-painfully-oppressive-step so you can learn "their one right way", that's not me. I don't teach like that because I don't learn like that.

I have wanted to be a teacher much of my life. I have taught at the middle school, high school, and college levels, enjoying (and some days dreading) each for their own reasons. I am an alumni of Saginaw Valley State University (my BA), and Central Michigan University (my MA), and a current doctoral student at Michigan State University (my PhD). I have four children (Hannah 8, Madison 6, Aubrey 4, and Logan 3) and learn more from them about teaching and learning than I have ever learned in a classroom that was trying to make me a standardized teacher. In my free time, I read, write, travel (25 of the 50 states), watch movies, stumble around our garden, draw, and play video games. I love comics, graphic novels, trade paperbacks, heroic types in capes and tights who leap tall buildings and all that jazz. Yes, you have probably nailed it perfectly: I am a dork. If you need even more ammo: I eat too much, exercise and sleep too little, get cranky, make mistakes, and sometimes - gasp - in the middle of the night ... I drink milk straight from the carton. Expect me to try my best - but don't expect perfection. I’ll pay you the same courtesy. I simply have not found a way to be what everyone wants me to be in the 24 hours a day that are available. Still, all things considered, I'd rather be here than here...
