Changing School Systems

Both of my parents are public school teachers. My late grandfather was the assistant superintendent for personal in my home town before I attended school. My grandmother was a school lunch lady. My Aunt is a school nurse and Uncle a teacher. Education has been a major part of my life since i was very young. It has had many affects on my life. I'm not a big nerd , I like old maps, collect flags, and have the habits of an old man, but I am very social and love people. I was the extremely involved in my high school, but behind the scenes. I was president of our chapter of the national honor society, Editor of the school newspaper, Captain of Scholastic Scrimmage, and President of our Class. I feel I have a very strong interest in education and as a business major I am extremely into the business of education.
My parents made me very curios and a quick study. I liked to learn and was curious. This, and I guess some genes, made me a quick study. I could figure things out and do tasks well because I could study them. I was curious about business and how things work. I took a liking to economics because it involved action and reaction and a little bit of experimenting. I tried and am trying marketing because it also involves action and reaction. You can experiment with messages and see how people react, but in much larger numbers its more how these people react as a group. I have also recently had my interest in risk management and insurance. It seems to me that Risk involves searching the past and planning for the future. Evaluating decisions and finding solutions.
I believe both have given me skillsets that are useful in each
