About Me

I am an English as a Second Language teacher. I have spent most of my life in Dallas, Texas. I grew up here and lived in the same neighborhood until I graduated high school. In 2000, I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in history and philosophy. I moved back to Dallas in early April 2007 after teaching in Asia for 4 years (1 year in Seoul, South Korea and 3 years in Japan). Other than teaching in Japan and South Korea, I have also had the pleasure of traveling to many wonderful places. Traveling is my favorite hobby. I have an older blog. If you want to read it, go to this link: http://adamgordon1977.blogspot.com/I also have a Facebook account. Recently, I have been using Facebook and Blogger a lot and haven't been here too much.
