This Is Why I Teach

Written by Matt Miller on 6/10/2015 11:50:00 PM in Why I Teach with No comments

I could go into a long soliloquy about why I teach. A student can say it better.

About Me

Stay Hungry. Stay Humble. Live Life.

Far from to perfect. A sinner, yet forgiven by God's grace and love because a man named Jesus took my sins upon his shoulders and died on a tree.

I'm a husband to my best friend, Lindsay. She fills in all my enormous flaws. She loves unconditionally and forgives a lot. She's amazing. She is truly amazing.

I'm a dad to three amazing kids. Each of them have a story about how they became a part of our family. I am settling into dad-hood, but I need a lot of work. I need to listen more. I need to be more patient. I need to spend as much time with them as possible.

I currently am an eCoach / Innovative Learning Specialist for Five Star Technology Solutions and I get to work with the awesome staff at the Mill Creek Community School Corporation. I help teachers create amazing learning experiences for students.

I used to be an engineer of student experiences in cultures. Okay, I mainly taught 6th grade social studies. I used Interactive Notebooks and Chromebooks. I bridged the gap between analog and digital. I answered questions with questions. I want to have a positive impact on the youth of today.

In my spare time, I am a graphic designer with a background in screen printing. These days, I mostly do logos and sports graphics, but I'm up for anything.

I used to work as a photographer. My wife and I work together shooting other people. With our cameras of course. Now, I mainly shoot sports portraits to be used for gameday graphics and senior banners.

I used to coach basketball and track. My sports love is basketball. It's my real passion (besides my family). I love developing teams. I love ball movement and tough defense.

I'm a simple person. Simple is very hard.

I'm quiet, but that doesn't mean I'm not driven to succeed.
