    Hello!

    Hi everyone! I'm completing my BA in psychology (yay for graduation!) and taking the pre-req's for the teaching program this semester. I'm planning on teaching special education (elementary level) just like my mom. I figured I'd introduce myself since I'll probably be doing a lot of lurking and asking a lot of questions about the profession. :wink:

    Good to have you hear. Don't listen to anything said by that guy who looks like he is a member of Genus Pongo. Oh wait that's me. Ignore everything I just said except for the first sentence.

    Gotta love Google.

    I had a college professor who hated that most of us in the U.S. mispronounce "orangutan" (at least in his mind) and said if we couldn't say it correctly, just say Genus Pongo. It has stuck with me for years.
