My name is Daniel Zachery Martin Williams… I guess my folks were a tad indecisive about what middle name to choose. I grew up in Worcester, MA and was born on January 11, 1990.
I have 27 brothers and 4 sisters. That was not a typo. I grew up with 25 foster brothers and 2 foster sisters in addition to my 2 biological brothers and my one biological sister. All, of them are older than I am by at least 3 years, and my little sister who just turned 16.
My house was obviously crazy, but my school and work were no different. I have been through 3 different school systems: Worcester, Uxbridge, and Bellingham.
As for work? Well, I have been a secretary, landscaper, PETsMART animal care specialist, Martial arts instructor, Disaster Medical EMT, and my personal favorite; I was a Zoo Keeper for 4 years at Roger Williams Park Zoo.
Not a bad life for a 19 year old. ^.^
And i would like to add that, even though i am not a teacher, I cannot wait to be one, and i am thrilled to have this opportunity to disscuss what is to be an educator with people who would normaly give me a detention slip.
About Me

- Well, all of my "about me" stuff is on my first blog. Still, for those of you who don't feel like reading it: I am 19 and a MASSHOLE. Family, Friends, and Honesty are the most important things in my life.
If in four years you are looking for a student teaching assignment, let me know. I'd be interested to see what you get out of the history & education programs at RIC.
ReplyDeleteDan,
ReplyDeleteI suspect you did not receive many detention slips! You will be a fabulous teacher! Your intelligent insights and observations have greatly contributed to our class discussions this week. Your diverse background will serve you well when you enter the classroom! Best of luck with all of your pursuits.
to Judy: I appreciate your faith in me. Thank you very much, but i did receive literally hundreds of hours in detention and suspensions that total somewhere south of 50. I think that it was those experiences that will make me a better educator because i truly believe that the best teachers are the ones who never forget that they were students.
