BLYTHEWOOD--Mr. Gayheart’s story about becoming a teacher is different than most, and in some ways inspiring. As he describes how he became a teacher, he tells how his family helped him.
“How I became a teacher is a little different than the normal route to teaching. Normally, you would go to high school, then you’d go to college, and you would become a teacher. Well, I dropped out of high school; just got too caught up in the nonsense, all the distractions, and dropped out. After I dropped out I ended up getting a GED, I worked a lot, went into the military because I didn’t really have any other options,” Gayheart says.
