Charles V. Duncan

1994 – Health and Physical Education

Dear Dr. Dugas,

                This is in response to your request for a letter of my experiences in the College of Education at USL.

                I originally graduated with a Business degree from USL in 1978.  I worked primarily in sales after graduation.

                Due to a desire to change careers, I returned to USL in 1991 to pursue a degree in physical education (non-teaching).  I graduated in 1994 and went to work for Sherwin-Williams Paint Co.

                I worked for that company until August, 1997.  During this three- year period, I moved eight times.

                I realized at this point that what I really wanted to do was teach, and I found a position teaching and coaching in Church Point, LA.  It has been very rewarding, and I feel that this is what I should have been doing all along.

                My time in the College of Education was very rewarding.  One of the most gratifying things was the camraderie I experienced in my relationships with faculty and fellow students.  It was an experience I shall never forget.

                I believe one should follow his path in life.  I did not find it right away, but my experiences in the College led me to a great profession.

Sincerely,

Charles V. Duncan
