To become a Teacher

I am presently teaching 7th and 8th grade students at Somerset Academy. Before this I worked for over 20 years in Banking and Brokerage firms. My department at Morgan Stanley was outsourced, so I took a "temporary position" at Somerset Academy. I did not know at the time that the students had behavioral problems with other learning disabilities. It was definitly different from the business world. After my first week there I thought I was going to go nuts. I then started to get to know the students and I really enjoyed working with them.
It is because of these students that I am going for my certification in teaching at Seton Hall University.
