Jim Van Allan
Believe. Whether that be in yourself or a cause, have a belief in something. I believe in the power of communication, rhetoric, and nonverbals. From the beginning of time to the present day, our communication skills have defined us as societies. We must never get away from the personal touch of human communication.
I am a Master's student and Graduate Teaching Assistant at Florid Atlantic University, and I absolutely love to teach and working with students. If you tailor your class appropriately and find new and exciting ways to breakthrough to your students- the learning possibilites are endless.
I love to be outdoors, work out, run, bike ride, and go to the beach or pool. While living in Florida, all that is possible on the same day. I enjoy a good movie and an entertaining TV show (Lost, The Office, Seinfeld, Friday Night Lights).
I also trust in the power of positive thinking. You can zap yourself out of any funk with taking a positive outlook on your situation.
