I belong to many communities and they all shape how I see the world. My job probably impacts my world view the most because it is where I spend most of my time and energy. This means that I am passionate about teaching middle school kids and specifically with teaching about the world and the many cultures that make up the planet. My hobbies community also plays a big role as traveling helps with my job as well as giving me the chance to see and experience new things with students, parents, and for myself. Hunting and fishing are communities I do for relaxation that have an impact on how I live, what I believe, and how I spend money. The books I read also shape my world view as I love books about adventure and overcoming obstacles. I don’t spend a ton on time online but social media has a role in shaping my world view because of the news feeds and people I associate with using Facebook and the movies and shows I watch using Netflix and Amazon Prime. Furthermore I consider myself to be a proud resident of Moscow; the U of Idaho; Moscow Middle School; the state of Idaho; and the United States of America. All of these communities add to my sense of self and the values of hard work, freedom, education, and service to the places that provide me with so much that I have to be thankful for. Finally I am a member of the “Dad” and “Husband” community and couldn’t be prouder of my wife and three daughters for all they do and are. All of these “communities” help me to define my place in the world and impact how I see others around me. Mr. Haley
