Mr. Royal original plans were not to become a teacher. 

“I was on the business side of things before I changed my major to become a teacher,”  Royal said.  “That’s what I would be doing right now if I was not a teacher and probably be making a lot more money.”

As a teacher Mr. Royal has plans for all of his classes. 

“To hopefully do good on the STAAR, that’s the ultimate to have a good showing at the end,” Royal said.

“Make them understand what it means to be an American,” Royal said.  “If it wasn’t for the test that would be all we do so we can create patriotism and so forth.”

“I like to go to sporting events like other people I know and enjoy them.  Also being a part of that, I like the competition,” Royal said.

“It’s different you know everything is coming to an end,” Royal said. “From the parent standpoint it’s a new stage of life, but for the senior its fantastic its great all the different changes.”  

Mr. Royal talked about the hard things that will come after graduation. 

For 18 or 19 years he has been a part of my life it is going to be different having an empty room and seeing that empty spot in the drive way,” Royal said. 

Royal loves teaching and is proud of his current students.

“All the kids are working hard,” Royal said.
