Long Overdue First Post

The purpose of this blog is to chronicle my experiences as a Teaching Fellow (TF) in the Ypsilanti High School Teaching Fellow program.  

I've been a TF in Mr. Tuttle's classroom for 5 weeks now, and I am finally getting around to making my first blog post.  I should give a little background on myself.  I'm a 4th year PhD student in mechanical engineering.  I was a Teacher's Assistant at U of M for two mechanical engineering classes a few years ago and I really enjoyed the experience, so I was looking for a volunteer position that would allow me to continue in the same vein.  The Ypsilanti High School Teaching Fellow program fit the bill.  Last Spring, I  started out by tutoring Ypsi High students after school with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), before I transitioned into a TF this Fall.

Well, there's plenty more to say about the past few weeks, but I need to sign off, so it'll have to wait.
