Brandon, I do not have any advice. What I can tell you is that from the comments you make in our class and from the postings you leave on the forum, your intelligence reflects a thoughtful, interesting guy that I'd love to sit in a classroom and hear lecture. I think you are an original thinker which makes for a great teacher, in my experience. If you can trust yourself and be your own friend, the kids will actually find you very interesting. It seems you have a genuine interest in history that will be contagious if you just approach it the way you approach this forum.
Good luck!
This class gives me plenty of doubts about my own ability in the school system. I think that once you get to know your students everything will get more comfortable. I wish you the best.
... dare I say, "Keep us posted...

waaa- waaaa-whaaaa- (that's supposed to be one of those lame music sounds... for a very lame comment;-)
