Hello! I am Bolton Fox and I am a senior at Grand Valley State University. My major is social studies with an emphasis in history and a minor in physical education. I am pursuing certification in secondary education. I am from Belding, Michigan and graduated from the Belding High School in 2011. I began my college career at Michigan State University and was pursuing a degree in kinesiology but had a change of heart. I always was drawn to teaching and upon changing my major I transferred to Grand Valley. I am looking forward to learning more about technology and how to utilize it my effectively in the classroom. I have limited experience with technology but have helped students use their chrome books to use Kahoot as a review game recently. This past August I got married to my wife Kayla and traveled to Riviera Maya, Mexico. One of my favorite things to do it to travel. I have been to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Mexico twice. My favorite place to go is anywhere up north in Michigan and this summer I am planning to vacation in the upper peninsula! And possibly spend a few days backpacking Isle Royale National Park!
Hi Bolton!
ReplyDeleteI can totally understand where you're coming from - it wasn't until I changed my major 3 or 4 times that I decided on Education. I started in PT, then realized I really didn't love science. I went to business next, and same thing - I just couldn't see myself sitting at a desk for 35+ years doing something I thought was just "ok". Now that I have started my placement for Student Assisting, I am so happy where I ended up and I can't wait to continue my teaching career. It was cool to learn a little more about you via your blog and I wish you the best of luck in your upcoming semester and with your trip to the U.P. this summer, that sounds so fun! If you haven't already, I would recommend visiting Taquamenon Falls - it's absolutely gorgeous!
Cheers,
Emily Toro
