My name is Patricia Godsy please call me Tish or Tisha.  I returned to school in December of 2006 after a TWENTY-year detour.  I thank the Lord daylily for the technology that has allowed me to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher.  I am a busy mom and wife of five children.  I worked my entire adult life and thought I was happy with what I was doing.  I was supervisor of a large call center, and trained adults on the skills for their positions in customer service in a classroom setting.  I did enjoy the teaching part of my position very much.  After the birth of my last child, my husband and I decided it was time for me to stay home, and work from there.  I missed the daily interaction of with people outside my family. In that first year, I started my own business, that was centered on a sport I love and my kids could enjoy with me.  A Cheer Gym!  I loved working with the kids and taking them to competitions.  I sold the gym two years ago because the original idea of having more time at home with the kids was lost, the gym became VERY busy, and I was away from home 6 nights a week.  I kept my position at the local high school coaching cheerleading, but left the gym behind I missed having kids of all ages around to learn from and teach what I know.  That is when I begin to pray about what it was I wanted to do….  I always wanted to become a teacher but thought it would be impossible.  Well that is to being allowed to take the majority of my classes on line I am on my way.  I am currently working at an elementary school the position I took was a recreational aid one to help with the kids in the classroom playing educational games and reading with them, what it has evolved into is, me working with several teachers in language arts assistance.  I work with a fifth grade ELL group and use the state standard material to develop daily lesson plans for these children.  I am teaching a group sixth graders the Spalding method (although you would think a child in sixth grade should have phonics nailed they are lost to the rules of phonograms). In the fourth grade, I have been blessed to work with a teacher that allows me to lead out the entire class in language arts, and whom has taught me the Spalding Method.  I absolutely love what I am doing and cannot wait to become a teacher.  
Well, now to the basic info,  I live in Southern California (the Inland Empire as we call it)  I have lived in So. Cal all my life and have not really done a lot of travailing outside of work trips to Philadelphia and Florida, the furthest I have traveled is Las Vegas and Tahoe.  I am married to a wonderful and patient man (most of the time ) and enjoy doing what it is that make my kids happy in my spare time.  I have one sister who is my best friend!  I attended church on the Sabbath day at an SDA church and have done so for five years studying the word of God, I have not become an official Adventist in the sense that I have been baptized in the church.  I was raised Catholic and I am still working on discovering the truth for myself.   I love learning and look forward to meeting new people.
