This week I began a new journey...teaching a class at my alma mater Anderson University. I am teaching a Sociology/Family Science class as an adjunct for a professor who is on sabbatical.
I have been on campus many, many times since graduation and it has never felt the same as it did as a student. Stepping back on campus this week in a totally different light, not as a student and not as just a graduated student, but as an educator was a whole new feeling.
To say I loved my college experience would be an understatement. Returning to campus in this new role brought back so many good memories. Being at AU always makes a little nostalgic and now I will be getting this flood of emotions three days a week for the next four months!
Although it was a little bizarre being on the other side of the classroom and standing at the podium and not in a desk, it was good first day. My class is made up of around thirty-three students from various degrees and ranging from freshman to seniors. Hopefully I was just the right amount of funny, smart, authoritative, and friendly.
I guess we will find out soon enough as the semester goes on...
For now though, this is Prof Schrough signing off...
