Teaching the youth of today

What a title huh?  I wanted to sound educated and sophisticated.  No seriously, I will be teaching my first college course starting June 25 for a group of incoming freshmen student athletes.  Excited?  YES.  Nervous?  YES.  Prepared?  Well, depends on what you mean by prepared--My syllabus is done.  All jokes aside, I am so excited about the opportunity to teach.  I have done it with children under the age of 5.  That was quite an experience.  I am looking forward to watching my students grow and learn about the university.  I am also looking forward to being one of the first professors they interact with.  They will get a taste of what college is like from their experience in my and Margaret's course.  They will also be pushed to do well and to strive for excellence, as these things are very important to me.  Monday should be interesting.  I will blog about my first day so check in if you are interested in finding out how it went.
