Genetics

By -

This isn't really a big deal, but I'm kind of excited about it, so I'm sharing with the fam. The professor I work with at school contacted me about a teaching job at a charter school in Provo. It's just from now until Dec. but it pays $25 an hour! Well... I'll only be teaching 2 hours a week - but... that's $50 we didn't have before, I'm getting school credit for it for one of my secondary ed teaching courses, and it will be great experience to give me a head start on student teaching next semester. Only a few people in the world might get excited to teach 13-year olds about genetics, and you're related to one of them (even if only by marriage). (And I just learned how to put a picture with a blog - I'm learning so much!)

That's actually pretty cool! Teaching genetics and getting paid. Like you say 50 bucks is 50 bucks. One of these days you should teach me genetics. All I know about genetics is that I got my mom's nose.

COOL! Now, if they would make that full time....$$$$. Yes, I know that you don't have time for full time. I know about as much as Kim does about genetics, but if you tried to explain it to me it would likely be way over my head! I know just enough not to ask such things!

Good job, Katie! Will the kids call you Mrs. Groneman??? That's just weird. I know you explained your long term ambitions a long time ago, but I don't remember-- do you want to be a teacher?

Yeah I'm getting my secondary ed teaching certificate along with my master's in biology education. As you've probably experienced, Jr. High kids have a hard time with remembering Groneman - so they're calling me Mrs. G. Yep... it is a little weird.

Mrs groneman? That's my mom.....


Congrats! $50 is always nice to have. In a 2 days time you could make enough $ to pay for gas to drive to sunny southern California this winter and visit relatives : )
