Hi, I am Wyatt Kimball, and I am going to be a history one day. It is nice to finally have the senior label next to my name, which also means I am getting closer to finishing school. Aside from just the school stuff, I just love being me. There doesn't seem to be a dull moment anytime in my life. I have a wonderful wife, Brooke, who is so great and I would say my sugar momma because she works while I go to school. We have a daughter together, Jacelyn, who is our pride and joy. She is a growing and wild toddler, and I have the privilege of being a stay at home dad while I work on my schooling. I love the outdoors. I love to go hunting, fishing, camping, paintballing, hiking, looking for wildelife, and much more so if I can be outside I usually am. Growing up I competed in basketball and track and DECA, so I kept myself busy. I graduated from high school as the valedictorian so I worked hard for that achievement. I am an Eagle Scout, and an LDS returned missionary. I served my mission in North Carolina and have grown to love the South and the people so much. I love to watch football especially when it is family playing. I have two sisters, and I am in between them. I love being a middle child. I also have 5 nephews and 2 nieces, which I love and adore. They are pretty much awesome.That is just some about who I am.

As I study in school, I will one day be certified to teach history at the secondary level. I hope to be able to teach all different parts of history. I want to live in a rural community because I may be able to teach all different students and levels. That is the goal, and one day I hope to further my education and go into the administration part of the schooling system.

I was drawn into teaching history because I had an awesome middle school teacher that helped me learn to love history, but on the flip side my high school teacher wasn't very good and I want to teach so students don't have to have what I had in high school for my history teacher. I am passionate about history and love how it shaped so much of how we live today, and I want to help students see and feel what I do while creating their own opinions.

I believe literacy is two different things. One, I believe it is the ability to read and write while understanding what is being read or written. Second, I believe it is having knowledge about a certain subject area and being able to teach that content you know. Literacy applies so strongly to my content area. First as a teacher, I will have reading and writing assignments, which will help students become more literary sound. I, as a teacher, must know the content strongly in order to teach is well and to answer questions students may have. Literacy in my definition is a must to have.

Well you have read my thoughts and feelings, and a little bit about who I am. I can't wait for the day I am finished, and finally get to become a teacher.
