SORRY.
My posts probably aren't going to be that interesting. The goal of the embedding objective was to embed things. So I did. Hmph.

About Me
My name is Hayden Julius and I am a freshman Secondary Education in Physics major. Besides my interest in the physical sciences, I also greatly enjoy listening to and creating music. I played percussion in high school and I also am a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society, in which I sing the baritone part. But, I have chosen to pursue Education because of the role of teachers in the community.
I have had many influences in Education throughout my upbringing. My father is a Health/Phys. Ed. teacher in Cleveland, and my mother is a pre-school speech pathologist in Madison, Ohio. Growing up in a household with two parents in Education has greatly steered me down that path; however, I can attribute my aspirations in Education to the excellence of my high school teachers and the respect I have for them. I wish to be that 'favorite teacher' that every student has and find a way to reach out to the students the way my teachers have. It's cliche to say that I want to 'give back to the community', but I have chosen Education so that I can (in some small way) affect the lives of the future generations. We live in an era where students get smarter and smarter. Although some might think that the children only put their efforts into online entertainment or technology, the average student knows significantly more information in all respects than students ten or twenty years ago. I want to add to their growing knowledge.
With this blog, I hope to share not only my experiences with SEDU183, but to share my personal views about Education and how it is so desperately important in society. This blog will allow me the access to other views, other teaching philosophies, other areas of Education that I may have not noticed. Utilizing this space will undoubtedly round myself and others into the respectable teachers that our children deserve.
