To whom it may concern:

I am very interested in obtaining more information about the job opening. Your school and state seem to be a perfect fit for my family and I. I decided to become a teacher because I really enjoy presenting others with knowledge. I think it is amazing to be able to teach children things they will need to know for the rest of their lives. My favorite part is being able to teach the way I want. My style is a fun, exciting way of teaching that can be laid-back, but at the same time very strict. I got my education degree from Fairmont State University. My good characteristics are my sense of humor, will to succeed, competitiveness, and I feel that I will get along really well with my students and we will have a fun time learning. I feel that education is very important to everyone and without a quality education it is nearly impossible to succeed in life.

Sincerely,

Introduction

Hello friends, my name is Ben Booth and this is my blog for 2225. I am a senior elementary education major here at FSU, but it will take me a little longer because, as you can see, I'm doing the whole technology thing also. This is my first blog, but I understand how they work because I like to view other people's blogs to hear what they have to say about topics that interest me.
