| Introduction | I think I'm a little kid stuck in a grown up. I had the amazing experience to be in a classroom teaching history as part of Teach For America. It was so much fun. I would dance around and tease kids, and make history relevant and fun. Once I made them wear garbage bag togas, we made masks, acted out original mythological plays, and ate baklava. It was awesome. Don't tell me they didn't learn something! Oh yes, and I bleed Orange! I'm a proud graduate of Syracuse University (02') (MPA 06'), just finished the secondary master's & certification program at the University of Michigan and am currently teaching middle school social studies in a public charter school. |

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?
No, I believe forks evolved from a dinglehopper.
