My first post.

This blog is being started for my Classroom Applications of Technology course. I am pretty excited about this. I usually write in a journal because it's a lot faster for me to hand write something rather type it. Hopefully, I can improve my typing skills and speed.

My buddy Keith came up with the name "Combat to Classroom" while sitting here in the Veteran's Lounge at TLU. I chose this title because I hope to highlight my struggles and accomplishments as a veteran, a father, a student, and eventually one day as a teacher. I know that writing is a form of therapy that I should be using since I haven't talked to anybody in the VA for in what seems like forever. Between physical exercise and writing I hope to maintain a healthy state of mind.

OK, please feel free to ask me questions on anything! I hope to write more about everyday life and the things I am learning in school. I will eventually share some of my experiences in combat.
