Welcome to My Blog

Hello internet, my name is Patrick Morris and I am creating my first blog for EDUC 2200 at Columbus State Community College.  Since I am enrolled at Ohio University Lancaster in their Middle Childhood Education program, I am limited to taking classes here at CSCC, because out in the rural schools they mostly close down for the summer.  Luckily this class will transfer to OUL, and I will then be able to move on to my junior level classes this upcoming fall semester.

I originally transferred from CSCC almost a decade ago to Ohio State University to earn a degree in Civil Engineering.  However, I have learned that I am not the best at the higher level math needed to obtain said degree, so I switched to Construction Service Management.  Unfortunately I found out that I am too nice to be a construction manager, so with my wife's help we sat down and looked into what else I could do with my career.  Upon further research and deliberations, we decided that maybe teaching was something for me to consider.

I teach many home improvement workshops a month and my wife says I am good with kids, so we decided to put the two together and there was the start of my journey to becoming a teacher.  Ideally I would love to teach middle school social studies, but since I have the heavy background in mathematics already I am in a good position to pass on my years of hardship and knowledge to hopefully be able to help our youth succeed in their studies of math.

My wife and I really enjoy traveling and working out.  She is much better than me, but that's okay.  I also enjoy anything science fiction especially with the ideas of how humanity will look when it can finally leave Earth and explore the universe.

  1. You seem to have a lot of knowledge and experience that would be valuable as a teacher, so I'm hopeful that you'll find that this is a good fit for you.
