Every week, I will be posting a blog about issues related to teaching and coaching at the high school level. I am an English Teacher at Futures High School as well as the head baseball coach at Antelope High School. I am passionate about finding ways to motivate young people to making the best lives for themselves, their families and the world around them. As educators and mentors, it’s important to showcase the type of society we want to see in our future leaders. It’s not easy to encourage teenagers to see things outside of their own personal lives. However, if we can help them to learn the importance of how their words and actions affect the world around them, this will positively impact the future of our society.
