Quick intro

Hey all, I am Jesus Martin, my friends call me jess however, jesus is fine so long as you dont begin to worship me in a cleverly mocking, sort of way. I can get sensitive, lol j/k.

Love to travel, learn different things, I am a sports junkie to the 12th order. Love new experiences and extremes. I really try to love god although it can become a battle but all in all in many aspects thru a spiritual path you learn many truths about yourself and about life in general.

So, yeah I really want to teach at some point in my life. I think I found my niche which would be teaching esl students how to better wield the english language. Since I am predominantly of latin descent and because I often conversate in spanish very mucho. I can speak spanish fluently although I am still trying to improve my English. As a result, I believe I will be in a great position to help ell students to get a more solid grip on the English language and to use it for their benefit.

What I am most fearful of is that I will be out of touch with the upcoming generations, even scarier is that Ive embraced some of the traditional values my parents shared. So i'm scared I'll be percieved as very old and squarish by students.

Another fear is that I will not make a real connection with students, I love making a real connection and I so want whatever I will teach to hit home. However, many good teachers can get tuned out at any given second, so we really need to be in the present, relate and stay on top of new pervading trends.

What else, Really began thinking about teaching when I volunteered at an elementary school while I was in high school. I found the children spirits to be so uplifting, nourishing and reminded me that loving people really is a big deal although some of us are better at it than others, or speak different languages of love.

Another reason, I love my dad he is my hero although hes watching now from up above. He was a car mechanic for 40 plus years. A good guy, a tireless humanitarian whose godly love given without compromise may have sparked an interest to give of myself thru teaching, since it was something he often did well.

Technology, I feel can be an extremely helpful tool in moderation. I believe they will find it fun and therefore fascinate or capture their interests such as creating group powerpoint presentations on a given piece of lit. In addition, adolescents will gravitate to it because they will find a comfort in using the computer to explore the realm of literature.

Thats pretty much it for me I look forward to learning more about everyone else and their unique brand of individuality.
Much love and blessings,
