"Let me ask you this: if you were able to read the writings of Abraham Lincoln, or CS Lewis, or Ghandi, or Dale Carnegie on a daily basis, would you have done it?
They are among you now. Find them and become transformed."
-From How to Create Your Circle of the Wise from The Cool Cat Teacher blog
I am officially inspired! And I officially added the Cool Cat Teacher to my RSS feeds. And I want to be an edublogger! And I am so excited to begin the journey of finding my own "circle of the wise."
I think there are times in ones' life that put everything into very clear focus. I am having one of those times. I started school (again) at 26 after I had had both of my babies. I didn't know what I wanted to BE, but I knew that I deserved an education and so I went on my path. I changed my major twice, and I thought about changing it ten more times before becoming an education major. My biggest problem with choosing was: I love everything, and I want to learn about everything. Learning is life! Then, after some experiences volunteering in my oldest child's kindergarten class, I KNEW. And everything about me fits into this new goal: to become a teacher. It is the weirdest thing ever, but every education class I have makes me want to become a teacher more and more to the point that I don't know how it's possible to want something more than you already really, really want it SO much. Yes. Yes. Yes. I have found my place.
Now on to the actual requirements of this "thing."
I found most of the blog search tools not to be very helpful to me. Mostly, this is because I don't know what I am looking for. I like a lot of things, but I don't want to add just any blog to my (very awesome and very much loved already) reader. I ended up following The Cool Cat Teacher's advice and found some blogs on her blogroll...and I'll go from there.

and just for kicks, I googled Dr. Wall's name, found this page (!!!), and subscribed to Clarksville Online.

I love how you concluded you wanted to teach. For me it was sorta the sme (i love lots of things! and want to learn lots of things!) But I also like to make a living, since I can't be in school forever teaching is something I like because I will still be eternally learning, but also helping and leading others through what I have learned. I just really like how passionate you sounded in this blog.
