M. Joe's Story
Life
Graduation was almost twenty years ago. Where has all the time gone? Let's see... after WVHS, I attended Shasta College for a bit, moved to Oregon, went to another community college before transferring to the University of Oregon. BA, Political Science. I was a delegate to a symposium in Poland on peace education, traveled around a bit, worked on a senate campaign, managed a health food store. Then I went to Lewis & Clark College for graduate school, moved to Boston for a different perspective on America. After one year, I returned to Oregon and got a job teaching in the Portland area. Yup, a high school social studies teacher. I almost got married, but didn't. I almost moved to Australia, but didn't.

or for the university's English department. How did I end up here? Long story. Ask, and I'll tell you. I love it. Life is great here, and teaching is wonderful. I'm married, no kids (and no plans for them, either). Next big plan is to continue my education and get a few more letters after my name. I'll be starting a doctorate program at the University of Exeter in UK in July of 2009. I'll go back and forth between Korea and England for the next two years, then write my dissertation here. After I finish--who knows. I may teach at a university somewhere else in the world, but most likely I'll stay here for at least five years after I'm done. Then maybe I'll move back to the US and finish my career there. But that's all conjecture and projection. Who really knows.
