All About Me

           My name is Matt Myers. I am 25 years old and I am from outside Akron, Ohio. I am a junior at Edinboro University. I transferred from the University of Akron when my wife was accepted to Gannon University for their Graduate Program. I graduated from Norton High School in 2005 and enlisted in the United State Army. I went through training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. I was then stationed at Fort Drum, New York. i was an all wheeled mechanic in the Army. I was deployed to Iraq twice. One tour was in Baghdad and my second tour was in Kirkuk. I ended my Army career in 2009.
           I was accepted into college and was introduced to a wonderful, smart and beautiful woman who is now my wife. We were married on August 5, 2011. I am a huge sports fan, because I played football, wrestling and baseball my entire life. My favorite sport is college football. My favorite team is The Ohio State Buckeyes. I watch every single game on Saturdays and my wife hates it when I watch football, because I am always yelling at the t.v. I currently work at GNC at the Millcreek Mall. I love working out and getting the discounts on my supplements. I also enjoy hunting, fishing, and being outdoors.
            I am majoring in Secondary Education: Social Studies. I feel that technology is becoming more popular everyday in learning. Some people don't know what they are doing when they are dealing with technology but when someone learns about the technology it seems very easy to complete your work. I believe technology is very important when it comes to teaching, because newer technology is coming out every year and the older style teachers don't know anything about how to work technology and being a newer student will help us get jobs when the older teachers retire. Plus you don't want your students constantly teaching you about technology in your own class. I love teaching because I believe that teachers are what drive this country. They are guiding the future of our country by the words they say and the actions they do. I also love it when you see a child finally grasp the concept of a lesson.
