My name is Adam Sandor, and I’m majoring in Art Education. I will be interning in the Fall of 2011, and I will be placed at Halls High School. I want to become an art teacher, because I enjoy the hands-on activities, and at the same time, I get to share my passion of art with students. I received my first degree in Graphic Design, but after having such a good experience with the faculty at The University of Tennessee-Martin, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I credit all of them with giving me the desire to want to teach art to others.
I have led several church devotionals for the Junior High School and younger age groups between my Sophomore and Senior years of high school at my church back in West TN. I have taught art twice at to high school students who visited the UTM campus, in Spring of 2008 and again in Spring 2010. In the Fall of 2007 and 2008, I was an assistant coach to a local U-10 soccer team in Martin, Tennessee, which was sponsored by my Fraternity. I was also the pledge educator of my Fraternity in the Fall of 2009/Spring of 2010, teaching 22 men the history of the Fraternity. I was privileged enough to spend 6 weeks at Pond Gap teaching after school art to Pond Gap Elementary in the Fall of 2010, as well the students of Lonsdale Elementary in the Spring of 2011 when they visited the UT campus. I also spent 4 hours assisting children with specials needs during the Very Special Arts Festival in the Spring of 2011.
In my spare time, I have a few activities to keep me busy. I draw and paint, and I also collect comic books and comic prints. I also enjoy judo, which I started in college, and as such, I hold a brown belt under Instructor Ray Watkins from Evolution Martial Arts. My last hobby is video games, and whenever I get a chance, I squeeze in play time to keep my mood up and keep my hands busy.
