What I hope to gain from this Fellowship

Well, my hopes are two-fold.  First of all, I want to learn about all of the career opportunities for our students so they can know what is available to them if they want to come back to Duplin County when they graduate.  Also, if they know certain careers are available right here at home, it may help make their decision easier.

Secondly,  I want to make math relevant for my students.  My hope for this phase is to bring real-world examples into my Math 1 classroom.  I want to show students that people right here in Duplin County with ordinary jobs are using math everyday.
