Enhancing the Classroom Experience

When I think back to my days in elementary school, I remember walking to class with my older brother on a crisp autumn morning, or bundling up on a bitter cold January day.  Our home was too close to the school to have busing privileges so making the trek on foot was our only option.   Once inside the I-shaped building, I sat in an uncomfortable wooden desk watching the hours tick by as the same teacher taught every subject over the course of the day.  I don’t recall having much team interaction back then, it was ‘every man for himself’.  I also don’t recall the teacher linking the subjects to meaningful jobs or careers, or making the material very interesting for that matter.  When the final bell rang, I met up with my brother and raced home, only to start the same mundane routine over again the next morning.




Making an Impact where you Live, Work and Play

I believe all of us want to leave some sort of legacy of our time on earth.  Be it the creation of the light bulb, the first powered aircraft, a cure for polio, or connecting the world through social media, these accomplishments have no real monetary value.  While we may not have the educational background to invent the next generation of cell phones or computers, or the financial backing to donate millions to an institution, all of us can donate time to make a difference in a fellow human’s life.




Space - The Radioactive Frontier

I have always been fascinated with space.  The beauty of the vast Milky Way as a shooting star races across a clear sky.  Spotting as many planets as my eyes can see, and tracing out the numerous constellations while lying across the freshly mowed lawn on a warm summer evening.  I remember watching Neil Armstrong make history in 1969, and seeing the Hubble Space Telescope housed in a clean room prior to launch.   I am thrilled with the successful Mars Curiosity mission, a nine-month 350 million mile journey that continues to beam home incredible images from the red planet.  The solar system and what lies beyond will forever intrigue me.
