Post#1 About me.

Hello my name is Jacob Hockett and I live in Portland, Oregon. I am currently working on a masters degree in the Arts of Teaching at Willamette University. I hope to one day be teaching health and physical education in a middle or high school setting. I will be working towards a ESOL endorsement as well. As of this vary moment my dream job would be teaching in a inner city. Some places in mind are Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver,  or Boston.

I grew up in Salem, Oregon and then attended Western Oregon University. I received a Bachelors of Science degree in Exercise Science. While in college, I coached baseball and football at a local high school in Salem for three years. For baseball I was the head freshman coach (2 years) & head junior varsity coach (1 year), and for football I was the varsity wide receivers coach.

Working on my fitness and eating healthy foods is a top priority in my life. I currently run and cycle to improve my cardiovascular health. I also do functional strength training to improve my muscular structure.

I recently am exploring different genres of music and learning about different musicians. I also am becoming more appreciative of art, and the amount of time and effort artist put into their work. The level of creativity of these individuals I envy. Growing up I hated reading, now I have found books that I am interested in and enjoy it.

Jacob's Perfect Day:
I wake up early in the morning and go for a run, then come home to eat a healthy breakfast. During breakfast I am drinking a cup of coffee and reading the The New York Times. After breakfast I work on homework or whatever needs to be done around the house while listening to music. After that is done, I head of to the gym to improve my muscular strength. After the trip to the gym I come home, fire up the grill and call a few of my friends to come over. While eating dinner I start the bon fire then relax the rest of the night.
