WhoAmI

Who Am I? What a challenging question to answer............. My name is Mr. Tchorz and I am a 7th grade Social Studies teacher. I have been teaching for nine years and previous to this I was a substitute teacher throughout the district. I absolutely love my job because every September it allows me the opportunity to get to know a brand new group of students. About that time, we figure each other out, the year ends, and things start over. I went to Richard Stockton College in Pomona, NJ (it's exit 44 off the GSP) and graduated with a degree in political science (fancy way of saying politics) and realized I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and thus began my mission to find my calling. I have zero doubt I am right where I belong in the classroom. I have lived my entire life in Central Jersey (save for my 4 years at Stockton). I absolutely love New Jersey but enjoy getting away every once and a while. I have been out of the country three times (once to Canada, once to St Lucia and once to Turks and Caiccos) but have ventured to every state on the East Coast and as far as Nevada. I have two older brothers who are 8 and 11 years older than me. I'm a pretty easy-going guy overall and I believe you'll quickly find I'm not difficult to deal with. I love watching sports (favorites are football, baseball, and hockey) however I watch almost every sport so it's safe to say I can talk about any and every sport. I dislike the Yankees, Mets, Giants, Jets, and Rangers immensly. I've never been a big fan of the city of New York as a whole. My baseball team is the Red Sox, football team is the Patriots, and hockey team is the Devils. My favorite movie is Field of Dreams (it was made in the 80s and focuses on baseball) but I will watch pretty much any kind of movie. My television tastes range from sports to Seinfeld re-runs to Modern Family. I got married in August 2011 as well so the past few years have been very exciting for me. I look forward to getting to know you all this year and an extremely positive and enlightening year together.
