"Choose a career you would do for free and you never have to work a day in your life" - Jason Tate

Our lives are a journey into which we discover, for ourselves, what this life has to offer. I have always said, "Devote your life to finding what gifts and talents you have to offer the world. Once you have attained self awareness, spend the remainder of your life sharing your gifts and helping others find theirs." ~ J. Tate.

As a teacher, I have amazing opportunities each day to do just that. Additionally, I have found it to be fulfilling to become involved in a program called "Big Brother/Big Sister". Both my wife and I have been involved in BBBS for over 3 years now. Anyone over the age of 16 can become a "Big" and mentor a younger person. Having been in the program now I have only one regret ... that I didn't join much earlier in my life! Go to the website BBBS of the Desert and read up on the information they have to offer. See an Inspirational Video and take that step into making your life feel more meaningful :-)
