My New Blog

I am 48 years old and have the idea of starting a blog.  Will anyone care? Will anyone take a peek?  I guess you never know so here it goes...

A little about me:  Son, husband, father, teacher, coach, former United States Marine...basically your average american.

I have been a social studies teacher for over 15 years.  I teach in a wonderful school district on the edge of the Jersey Shore....No I don't know Snookie.  The district I teach in has a mulititude of children whose families come from all corners of the earth! 

These children have taught me more about the world than I have taught them!  Being a teacher for many years, hundreds of these former students are out there trying to make sense of the world.  I have joined the social networks and now keep in touch with many of them.  They are now spread around the country, many are married or even divorced.  They have every occupation you can imagine including serving in our armed forces. 

The other day, many of these former students posted on my facebook page to find out what was happening in Egypt.  It is an honor to know that these young men and women trust my knowledge of the world.  How much do I know about the world?  Well I'm not an expert in any area or have an expertise in any culture or religion, but I know enough to educate the average american.

With that being said, I decided to start a blog.  It's just for fun and I don't take myself very seriously, but lets see how it goes.....I will give all of you more of my history as we move forward but Egypt will be my first topic. 

Thanks for reading me and bringing me on to your computer screens....Guy
