My name is Corey and I am 22 years old.  I live on my own in a house with three roommates.  Currently, I attend Manchester Community College, pursuing an associates degree for teaching elementary students. 

I am in the process of creating an education club at school for others who aspire to be teachers. 

I work at a before school program at an elementary school and am also looking for a second job.  

When not doing school, work, or things for the club I spend a lot of time with my family and friends.  I participate in a dart league and play basketball whenever I can.  Bowling, ping pong, and watching movies are some of my other main interests.  

Although I am an only child, I have been blessed with an incredibly large and tight knit extended family.  I lived with my mother, but my father was always apart of my life. 

Growing up I loved playing baseball and basketball for my town.  I also spent many of my summers going to Native American pow wows, where competed as a grass dancer.  

I was always a mediocre student in high school, mostly due to laziness and procrastination.  But, in college I am getting great grades, making high honors every semester I have completed.  I have been in and out of college to pursue careers that I thought would get me rich quick.  I was a Mortgage Broker and sold cash advances.  I tried my hand at corporate America while working at The Hartford, but it was not for me.  Coaching youth baseball and basketball cemented the idea the idea of being a teacher in my head.

In my future I will continue to get great grades while in college.  I will transfer to ECSU, get a degree in History/social sciences and elementary education, and be president of their education club.  Eventually I will earn my Masters, and Doctorate degrees in educational leadership.  I will get a job as a teacher in Hartford, and eventually become a principal.  All the while, I will do everything I can to make a difference in my community specifically with the youth to mold positive, ambitious, and well educated children.  I will also help other students and teachers along the way.  Aside from teaching I will give speeches and workshops about positive attitude and leadership.  I will also write books including childrens books, motivational books, and short stories.  

I will also have a loving family including a wife and loving children of my own.  I will have a home with a large yard and a swimming pool, and enough space to have a nice activity room for a pool table and dart board.  I will continue to grow as a person, working to be more consistent in all aspects of life.  During the summers off from teaching I will travel the world with destinations including Egypt, Italy, Australia, and all the states of America.
