ABout Me

I actually wasn't sure if the About Me section was a post or just contained to the About Me box.. Anyways..

My name is Peter Siner I was born in RI and I'm from Glocester, RI. After High School I decided I would like to go somewhere that was far enough away from home but close enough at the same time. So I went to URI and I was set on Marine Biology... or Archeology... or Teaching... or just something to do with History... or an Engineer..... needless to say I had absolutely no idea what I actually wanted to do. I started working at Newport Creamery in Smithfield, RI in my junior year of High School and I took a break from work my first semester at school, however when funds ran low I began working the weekends, the long drive (1hour) to go to work for a 5 hour shift really wasnt worth it that much when I took into account the money I was spending in gas alone. This whole working in Smithfield, going to school in North Kingston and staying at URI during the week and my house during the weekend really started to wear on me. It was towards the end of my Sophmore year that I realized it really wasnt worth the time and money to be going to URI, and at this point I had realized I wanted to teach history. Thankfully RIC has a great teaching program and now im saving thousands by staying home, working, and going to a school that I feel is much better than URI. All four times I was supposed to meet with an advisor at URI they "were sick" or "not available" not to mention I was sick of taking classes where if I showed up 20 times or 0 times it wouldnt affect my grade. So far I couldnt be happier with my choice of going to RIC.
Like I said I work at Newport Creamery and I have for about 5 years now, while I usually cook Ive been trained for everything in the store and I might try and shoot for a supervisor position once my schedule clears up a little.
Aside from school and work, my favorite thing to do is Travel and all the things that go along with it such as fishing, camping, kayaking, biking, and some amateur photography. So far Ive been to about 10 states and three countries, the Bahamas with my family, and two with my girlfriend Cassie: Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. It takes a while to save up for trips like these but its definitely worth it.
Like I mentioned before fishing, biking, and kayaking are great even when I'm home as well as golf, simming and many other outdoor activities.

Teaching for me would be the ultimate job because not only will I be teaching History which has always been my favorite subject but it should allow for me to have some free time over the many vacations schools have. Hopefully this class provides a gateway from college student to a teacher in the making.
