Hello!!!!!
My name is Scott and I'm excited and nervous at the same time to get this adventure started! First, I'm going to tell you my life story.
I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I grew up in a town just north of Seattle, Washington called Marysville. After high school, I left Marysville and went to college in Pullman, Washington, home of the COUGS!!!! In college, I majored in Criminal Justice and Sociology. College was great and after graduation I thought I would get into the field of Law Enforcement. Well, I quickly realized I was not interested in pursuing a career in that field. So, I started working in a special education classroom in Colorado. I loved my job but I still wanted to do new and exciting things.
So, I left to Korea to teach English and do some travelling. I only was going to teach for a year and then do some travelling before coming back to America. Well, 5 years later here I am. I filled my passport with stamps all over Southeast Asia and some of Europe and decided it was finally time to come home. Now, I'm teaching in a special education transition classroom in Portland. I truly love my job. It is sickening that on Sunday night I get excited to go to work on Monday. Hopefully, one day I will be able to work in a resource classroom in a high school.
If there were only two things for you to remember me by, they would be travelling and soccer. Soccer is passion. I have played it since the age of 4 and I have played it year round since the age of 11. If I go longer than a few months without touching a soccer ball or seeing a soccer game, I will become depressed and lost. Most Saturday mornings I will be up at 5am to watch soccer games on TV and on my computer. Ultimately, I hope to coach the soccer team at a school I eventually find a teaching job at.
This was just a little about me. If you'd like to know more about me, ask me about places I've been, or see some of the pictures I've taken while travelling, then feel free to ask.
With a nice set of travels behind you, it's wonderful you have time now to get your certification to pursue your passion to teach. When one says that Sunday nights they're excited to go to work ... that's the right profession to pursue. Go Timbers (since I'm a Duck).
