From America’s Heartland to the city of Brotherly love
Nathan C. BranineEDUS 515
Born in thesuburbs of
Greenwood, Indiana“The Crossroads of
America”
Raised to love all things “Indiana”…
by my parents & grandparents
Two olderbrothers andsister...
who have allmovedto the WestCoast…
With my 3 nieces and nephew :(
Indiana…a great place to be from…
“But in Indiana it's not like New York where everyone's like, 'We're from New York and
we're the best' or 'We're from Texas and we like things big' it's more like 'We're from Indiana
and we're gonna move.‘”-Jim Gaffigan
…And I did!
to Northern Wisconsin??
…and it was LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHWERE
For a degree in sec. ed!
Not much to do inthe frozen North…soI bided my time with
stage productions
And spent my summers & spring breaks traveling…
Throughout North America…
Banff, Alberta
Kenora, Ontario
Seattle, WA Victoria, BC
Montana
and Europe…
Greece
Italy
or working at a camp in Northern California
Then it was time to get a real job…
and teaching is my passion
so I moved to Lansdale, PA in 2005
To teach Social Studies, Health, & P.E.
And Coach Basketball
I Love my students…
Even when they take embarrassing
pictures
And miss them when they move on
Even took a group of my students to Thailand in ‘08.
But after 4yrs it was time to move on…
I moved to Philly in 2009 to get closer to my church &
eventually teach in the city
Spending my free time…
CAMPING
TAKING DAY
TRIPS AND JUST HANGING OUT
The Presentation has ended
But the Journey is to be Continued…
