Today was our last day at Drumright High School.
Sarah and I have decided that now is right time to move on to new opportunities, with the added benefit of being closer to her family. Sarah has shared what her plans are, but I thought I should write this post to explain what I’m going to be up to.
I’ve decided that if I’m going to go to grad school, now is the time to do it. Rather than study education like Sarah did, I want to study more math. I’ll be working towards my M.S. in Applied Mathematics at the University of Tulsa. I’m really excited about being at TU, not just because of the convenient geography of being in Tulsa. Since I’ve moved here, I’ve been regularly attending the math teacher’s circle hosted by the TU math department, so I’ve already met a number of the faculty. Also, Sarah was a student there, too.
I’m not stepping away from education completely, as I’ve been awarded a teaching assistantship. I’m not entirely sure what my responsibilities will be yet, but I’m happy that I’ll get to keep teaching while furthering my own study.
