From the Field to the Classroom

The game was awesome. Shedrick D. McCall Jr. is a youngster who belonged to a doctor. who formerly loved the game and will continue to do so. Football was his first love, but after getting hurt and having to find anything else to do with his life, it became his second. I never imagined myself to be a professor at a university. I recall attending college orientation at Maryville College in Maryville, Tennessee, in 1989. I distinctly remember the facilitator talking about the number of college credits I needed to graduate, even though I had no concept what a credit even was. Oh, how times have evolved. I currently provide students with college credit advice.I firmly think that helping people, especially young ones, is my calling. I enjoy supporting, advising, bolstering, and supervising people as they improve their self-efficacy, self-concepts, and self-esteem. Why me, I used to question God? But now I claim to understand why I am like Job in the Bible, who received much but needed much more. I cherish my friends and family. I want to express my gratitude for your love, support, prayers, and words of inspiration throughout all of my difficulties. Thank you, Lord, for Shedrick D. McCall III and Madison Renee McCall, who are both my universe, my heart, my life, and the reason I am able to breathe. But God penned my narrative.
