William Good

Hello everyone, my name is William Good (I usually go by Bill, Billy) and I am originally from Nazareth, PA, but call home in Richlands, NC. Growing up I was involved in sports year round and loved being outdoors doing something. Right before graduation I decided to enlist in the United States Marine Corps. I spent a little over 12 years in the Corps before I was medically retired. While in the Marines I reached the rank of E-6 (SSgt/ Staff Sergeant) and met my wonderful wife Victoria (whom also spent 12 years in the Marines). We have five children (4 girls, 1 boy ranging in ages 6-16) and many pets. With all the kids in school my wife and I also attend school and work full time jobs. I am attending the University of North Carolina Wilmington for a degree in Elementary Education while working as the In School Suspension teacher/coordinator at Richlands High School. Since I have had years of experience with homework and various projects from kindergarten through high school I thought it would be a good idea for me to become an educator myself since it is a very inspiring career. I mean who does not want a job where you can interact with the youth of America on a educational, professional and personal level to help mentor and guide them into being productive members of society when they are older. An added bonus is I get to coach too, there's nothing like forming a bond with the students athletically and educationally! My future goals are to become a certified licensed educator and teach right here at one of the many schools in the area and to continue coaching. I plan on furthering my education and obtaining a Master's Degree soon after I land a job.
