Week 3 and we are not talking about P90X

I just got done reading a blog by Tim Gwynn. It is as if he went through the same situation as I did in college. I was in the pre-pharmacy track ready to count pills everyday for the rest of my life. Then one day as I was coach Jr. high football I like teaching kids. Just like Tim I talked it over with my parents and gained their acceptance and have never looked back. When I tell people this story they always asked about if I think about how much money I could of made. I always say that yeah I would have made more money but hated every second of the day I was in that profession. When I am teaching it is if time fling by. Students will ask me why I am always smiling and I tell them I love my life. Passion to me is waking up every morning and being happy to go my job. Passion also a change in words with passion you say, "what do I get to do today" with out passion you say,"what do I have to do today". I catch myself saying the first one more than the second one.
P.S
College Baseball regular season start tomorrow. Their has been two days nice enough to play a game. Maybe this is why all the Southern teams are so good.

Week 3

After reading the article The Power of Connections I realize that I am going through the same process has the author. Entering into this new world of technology I was nervous about what could go wrong. But as I continue to learn about the positive aspects of Twitter and blogging I see what these programs can do in the form of tools to help connect with people. Via all these sites it is no problem to get in contact with people from around the world to get their point of view on subjects that are on your mind. I can see why this new connection with everyone is so addicting to so many young people there is a constant flow of information coming to them on topics they decide are interesting. I also like that telling my students that I have a twitter account and a blogg increased my coolness in their eyes.

The second article I read was on 5 tips for smarter social networking. The one tip I like is mix professional and personal lives to me I do not want to sit there and read about some issue on a blogg unless I get to know that the author knows what they are doing, and they do this by telling us there personal history with this topic. The other tips I do not know about; in my job I can get into trouble if I say to provokative things. The whole idea of showing vulnerability is just not my style. I do not need random people to know my weakness and falts. I have no clue if I am right or wrong on this issue but hell what do I know I just started to get into this social networking deal 2 weeks ago.

P.S. Thank You Packers I owe you guys one
