WELCOME TO THE LAND OF GUGE otherwise known as... CHAD'S HOMEPAGE

Let's swing into action! Let me introduce myself... I'm Chad Guge, Owner of this webpage! I'm from Rowley, Iowa, "Iowa's Best Kept Secret!" (Oops, not anymore!) Read on to learn more about me and my life...

This is me, Chad Gerald Guge. I have FINALLY graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a Bachelor's Degree in Geography-Secondary Education and a minor in Sociology. I hope to stay in Iowa and teach at a high school, and do some extracurricular activities on the side, like coaching baseball or basketball. I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT I HAVE ACCEPTED A JOB AT NORTH SCOTT HIGH SCHOOL IN ELDRIDGE, IOWA. i AM PUMPED AND EXCITED TO BE TEACHING AT THIS SCHOOL!!!!! I love sports, hangin' with friends, and getting involved in all sorts of organizations. My nickname in college was "Acronymn Boy" because I was involved in RIB (Recognition and Involvement Board), KDP (Kappa Delta Pi), ACES (All Campus Escort Service), GAI (Geographic Alliance of Iowa) and NRHH (National Residence Hall Honorary).

These here are my parents. My dad works for the Iowa State Department of Transportation. And before I start getting hate mail, NO he does not work the construction that slows you down! He is a crew chief for a surveying crew. Mom stays at home, but is the city treasurer of Rowley! They have had a HUGE influence on who I am today. They have been married for almost 28 years. I love them both to death, and without them, I would not be here today! Let's give them a big round of applause! (Clap now)

This here is my sister, Rachelle, and her husband Brian. They reside in Southeastern Iowa. Rachelle is a junior high school math teacher, and Brian works at a hotel. I don't think Rachelle realizes just how much of an impact she has had on my life. She is the best, and is one of the reasons why I went into teaching. One member of her family I'm neglecting to mention until now is PIB, their cat. I'm allergic to her, and she knows that and runs in fear every time I show up. That cat does some crazy things, but she, all-in-all, is a good cat (as much as it pains me to say that!)

MY FAMILY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! GIVE 'EM A HAND FOR BEING THE BEST FAMILY IN THE WORLD!

As you already know, I am a teacher. Teaching is probably the most underappreciated, underpaid, overworked profession in the world, and I am glad to be a part of it.

I am endorsed in secondary education, but have the utmost respect and admiration for elementary teachers. My subject areas include geography and sociology, which really go hand-in-hand. As you already know, I have a job now, and look forward to entering the "real world" of teaching. I want to coach, but my teaching comes first. I know so many coaches who are given the responsibility of teaching, and very few teachers who are coaches. I also want to be an advisor for National Honor Society, SADD, Peer Helper or a Social Studies Club. I have a plan in the making for a new type of club, and if I get a job, we'll see if it can get off the ground.

I would really feel guilty if I didn't give out a big HOWDY to all of my friends and students in Fairfield, Iowa, Home of the Fairfield Trojans! This is one of my 9th and 10th grade Global Environment classes (Sorry guys, but I only had room for one picture, and this one is the only one where you could see the students very well!) I did my student teaching at Fairfield High School, and it was the best time of my life. Everyone from the teachers, administrators, parents, and students were the best, and I hope to visit them again soon! Check out their webpage at the address below.
