Teacher spotlight: Mr. Kelly

Hannah Chelton, Reporter

Mr. Kelly is a high school math teacher here at Corry. He was born in Meadville, PA, and grew up in Vero Beach, Florida. He graduated from Vero Beach High School and decided to further his education at Edinboro University. He decided to become a teacher because both of his parents were teachers, and he appreciated teachers that explained things well. Additionally he went on to say, “I really had great high school teachers and coaches, so I knew becoming a teacher and coach was a very good career for me.”

Moving along, Mr.Kelly’s hobbies/interests include fishing, hunting, running, and watching/playing sports. His favorite color is blue. In addition his favorite movie is “Dumb and Dumber.” When asked if he has any pets he replied with the short answer of no. Lastly, his favorite food is chicken parmesan.

One day Mr. Kelly would like to visit Alaska because, “It seems really beautiful, and I would love to hunt and fish there.” His biggest pet peeve is when people are lazy, not willing to completely commit to things, and don’t get the most out of their God-given talents. One quote that he has always liked comes from Philippians in the Bible: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” His explanation for the choosing of this quote is because, “It is just a constant reminder that we as humans aren’t alone and can accomplish amazing things if we have faith and confidence.”
