Hi, I'm Greg Perry. I'm kind of a big deal. I 'm currently a student in my final semester at CSUN. I hope to eventually teach high school English to eager English loving students, and if they don't love English then I'll gradually get them to with the magic of my awesome teaching.
My hopes and goals for being a teacher are kind of basic. They're to be a "good" teacher. I don't want future students to talk about my class outside of school and say things like, "Wow, that guy's really bad," and "Trust me, you do NOT want to take a class with Mr. Perry, all he does is talk about (insert something arbitrary NO teens would or should be interested in hearing about, like the economy, the war on terror, or Dane Cook.)" I really just want to change the students lives for the better and have a positive impact.
My fears for my future teaching career is that I might somehow underestimate the sheer difficulty of being a teacher and end up being way over my head. I also have a fear of becoming that jaded teacher who just doesn't care and sits at his desk all day staring at the clock waiting for retirement.
I want to become a teacher because I enjoy working with kids. I've had a lot of great teachers in the past that inspired me from a pretty young age to become a teacher. I believe that technology will play a large role in my future teaching. I think that high school students now have technology so infused with their everyday lives that including it in the classroom is a natural progression and easily implemented.
