I'm a circus performer...a plate spinner to be more exact. Plate spinning is like juggling, only better and more difficult because you have to move from plate to plate to keep it spinning at the top of the long pole. (Never seen a plate spinner? Take a look on the web. Its fun.) You have to know a little about a lot to keep the plates going and to keep an audience engaged.
Okay, I'm really not ... See more

Fluent in English and Spanish, I have always loved teaching classes; granted they were mostly filled with huge tires, high ropes to climb, and cones to shuffle from one parking lot to the next, but no matter how you look at it, life itself is a boot camp class and as long as you remain positive, expect the unexpected, and welcome new challenges, I’d say you have an amazing chance to succeed in both classes inside a school curriculum, ...

I get how daunting learning some subjects can be. I have an ADHD student that graduated and joined the Army. I believe every student can learn but it takes different styles for different children. My kiddo was mostly a kinesthetic learner, some visual, never auditory. Einstein said, "Everyone is a genius in his own right. But if you try to teach a fish how to fly, it will always think itself unworthy and dumb."
