GARRETT SMOTHERS

Born and raised in Fresno, CA, Garrett attended and graduated from Clovis West High School. While completing his education at Fresno State, Garrett worked in the flooring department at Lowe's. After finishing his English Education degree, he decided to get an English Teaching Credential. In Fall 2011, Garrett will finish his credential program and hopes to land a job (anywhere) teaching Senior AP Composition. He currently works at the Writing Center on campus at Fresno State and continues to gain experience that will prove beneficial once he gets into the classroom. Garrett is looking forward to finishing his credential, working consistent hours of honorable work, and never dealing with salesmanship again.

In his spare time, Garrett likes to relax and spend time with a special someone. He also enjoys traveling, movies, and music (Garrett also plays the acoustic and electric guitar). Garrett has traveled to Canada, Ireland and over summer, he travels to Washington to see Warped Tour at the Gorge. He enjoys metal and hardcore music and his favorite book is George Orwell's //1984.// Garrett's most missed childhood memories are getting Happy Meals. Among the few residents of Fresno who agree with him, Garrett enjoys the deathly summer heat of his hometown.

A few words of wisdom from Garrett: "Following the path of least resistance is what makes men and rivers crooked."
