About Me

Hello, my name is Frederick Patterson Jr. I am a physical education major, this is now my junior year here at South Alabama. I have a associate degree from Bishop State Community College in Computer Information Systems. I'm a full-time employee at Wal-mart off of the beltline better known as the ghetto wal-mart. I have a desire of sports and helping kids accomplish their goals. As a result of playing sports I have learned how to become a team leader and team player.

WHY Teach???

I believe in receiving knowledge and passing it on to the next generation. A reason to teach is that I wanted to make difference in the school system with young adults who are going through difficult situations and think nobody cares. Those that think giving up is the only way out when it seems that everybody has giving up on you. Since I come from a community where there is no help unless you are a 4.0 student or star athlete, I know what it takes to achieve goal. I definitely wasn't a 4.0 student nor a blue chipper athlete. This encouraged me to teach to all kids and to spread my knowledge of believing in God and never give up because anythings possible. There are many teachers who don't care whether you came to school or not and I do not think children should experience that.
