nrbrinkhoff: I am originally from Colorado. In Colorado I attended college, lived as best I could, and worked for the worst corporation in history, Walmart. I always knew something was missing, and I was getting tired of my monotonous life, so I joined the Navy to get out to New England, a place I had always wanted to be. I only served a short time in the Navy, as I met my husband and was discharged thanks to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", but enjoyed the experience very much. Shortly after the Navy I started back on the path of my passion: teaching. Since I was in kindergarten I knew I wanted to teach, though at the time I did not know men could teach. At the end of high school, and all through college, I intended on teaching high school history. I started substituting at the elementary level in Bridgeport, CT and knew that is where I wanted to be. I have been in elementary/middle school settings since. Being a teacher has helped to open my eyes to the problems of the world, and one of my main goals is to help create a world that will allow for ALL children to find success and opportunity.
