DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.
Don't mind the really great *cough* picture of me, that's my half terrified - half "I can't believe I'm doing this" look. But I had to share this...I got to hold a live alligator at school today! His name is Steve; named after Steve Irwin. He belongs to a guy in one of my classes (the guy behind me in the picture), who bought Steve off the internet for $30!! (I'm pretty sure it's illegal to have him, but who's telling?) He named him after Steve Irwin because Steve (the alligator) was shipped to him the week Steve Irwin died. I was just so impressed with myself that I dug up enough guts to hold him (I won't even hold D's snake!). Yay me! Besides, it's not everyday you get the opportunity to hold an alligator at school! P.S. Thanks, Janice, for taking the picture for me!

That is SO neat! :)
Oh my, I'm scared to death of alligators and snakes! I have to admit though that one looks pretty tame!
Wow, Kiara! In the picture you aren't even holding his mouth, I mean he could have turned around and taken a bite out of you!
Holy, you are brave! I would freak out if I even got close to that thing. Go You!
Wow I'm so impressed! Hope you guys are doing well.
You are very brave!
