Gabe is a good friend and one of the nicest, most genuine guys I know. He met at my house while I was playing Desert Combat and we went over to Freebird’s (which we usually do when he comes into town) for our bi-annual ritual which consists of eating a giant burrito and shooting the breeze. We talked about a lot of things, teaching especially, since he is a bilingual teacher out in Galveston and since I have been thinking about what to do with my life. He made it sound pretty appealing, and it sounded like he had really found his niche. I’ve been drawn to teaching for a long time and was even an elementary ed. major back in college but I guess I just put it to the side. I need to look into the alternative certification program.
I think you’d be a great teacher, Chris….after all, it seems like you (mostly) enjoyed working at the daycare.
You should get a job teaching at a very bad highschool, with a bunch of misfit kids. You could have zany adventures but in the end all the kids would grow to love you.
