Retirement

04.2013 - Current
I retired from teaching in April 2013 due to a variety or reasons. I was going through a pending divorce, custody battle and the sale of the family home. I found myself distracted and realized that I could not give teaching my full attention. The school system gave me the options of returning to work or retiring. As I said earlier, I no longer felt that I could give my students or the school sytem the dedication or passion I once had so I opted to retire. I has been many years since that retirement and I now find myself longing to get back into the field of teaching science.
