My Story

Gentlemen:

Here is my personal story! You will also upload your narrative story to your blog. Also, remember to send your blog html to my email address.

My Story
My story is simple, yet it is also complicated when compared to many other people’s lives. Originally from the U.S. (I was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin – home of Harley Davidson Motorcycles), I have lived and worked in a number of different countries since I was 18 years old, and have travelled to many more in my life. Because I had studied the German language for six years in high school, and because my father worked for Siemens Corporation in the US, I had the chance to travel and work in Germany starting two months after my graduation from high school for 14 months until I returned and started the university. That was the beginning of my travels, which continued after I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. I have a happy family of my parents and two sisters who I visit every year, but I live on my own these days.
My interests include travelling, swimming, cycling, cooking, and foreign languages, as well as reading and learning about other cultures. I look forward to learning more about all my students in order to make this term a successful and enjoyable one.
