Youth of Today

I think it is incredible how far technology has come. What's even more incredible is the fact that kids generally have a better understanding and grasping of this fast paced lifestyle. They tend to have these instructions instilled in their genes. As soon as they can walk, they're using computers. In the story, Cameron illustrated his comprehension and knowledge using his imagination to create different scenes. I think one of the things I was most impressed with. was his willingness to go out beyond the norm and help the teachers put together a presentation for the class. He demonstrated a high level of maturity. It makes me think of my little one. She is five and already she can go to different sites and play games. She can navigate through the internet and draw on her paint page or go to word document and type names.
My name is William Harris. I served eight years in the United States Army. Five active duty, and three reserve. I did twelve months in Korea and was actually suppose to fly home September 13 but the unfortunate happened on the 11th. I also did thirteen months in Iraq where I conducted over 250 convoys as a gunner. I was there! For the last four years, I have have been busy with school and of course my family. I've been married for fourteen years. I have a fourteen year old son and a five year old daughter. In my spare time, I enjoy fishing, hunting, camping, and watching football. As far as why I want to teach, well I come from a long line. My great granddaddy taught. Both of my grandparents were involved with the schools. My grandfather was a principal and my grandmother was a counselor, and taught. My mother teaches. I think that kids should have the opportunity to learn while having fun. I always enjoyed the whole ah-ha effect and figured I can serve as that tool for students and deliver the effect to them. As of right now, I plan on teaching secondary English and coaching.
