Take 1

I'm not exactly sure what  a blog should have in it or what I would write about but I've always wanted to try so here it goes....
I've newly graduated from college and already going to dive back into school to become a teacher and always be in school. I would have never seen myself as a teacher, but since I really could never choose an occupation, seeing myself in any one would be difficult. Last year I started coaching girls basketball. Basketball had been my life since 3rd grade. I played in every league, then in high school and one year in college. I always knew that it had to end at some point, but tried to put it off as much as possible. When it came down to figuring out what I should do as an occupation as took what I knew and applied it (using some contacts I knew). 
Right from the start, I loved coaching. I was teaching others the skills I know and watching them learn it and put it into action. When I sat down and thought about it, I had been coaching for years. Even while I was playing, I would teach and show teammates what I knew. Its rewarding to see people use something that I've taught them and see the joy on their face. One thing I love the most is to make someone smile, whether that be from doing something right or opening a present that they always wanted. This is where teaching comes in. Its just another place where I can teach people new things and watch the look on their face when they get it. 
Well I guess I've blabbed on long enough about nothing of any consequence. Maybe next time I'll come up with something better to blog about or maybe write about my time getting my credential and coaching, moving up to getting a teaching job and coaching. 
Until next time.
