My name is Carl Atnip, and I am from San Antonio, Texas U.S.A. I graduated Robert E. Lee high-school in the summer of 1996. Soon after, I joined the U.S. Army for two years. After I went to enlist in a small community college where I completed my primary studies, while also focusing my attention on new media studies and software application design. Later I attended the University of the Incarnate Word where I got my B.A. Degree in Communication Arts with a concentration in journalism, and video production.

While in my last year of school I met my wife in the library and she told me all about Taiwan culture. My wife suggested that I should get my Master's degree in Education so that we can live together in Taiwan. I graduated with a M.Ed. degree in December 2010. Soon after I graduated I was enrolled in the teacher certification program for three months where I got an extensive twelve week internship at the Jewel C. Weitzel center in San Antonio. After I had passed all three teacher exams, I was awarded TEACHER CERTIFICATION by the state of Texas. Soon after receiving my teacher certification I had contacted Dewey International Consultants where I had found a place to teach English in Taiwan.

我的名字是Carl Atnip，我來自於美國德州的聖安東尼奧市，我於一九九六年畢業於Robert E. Lee高中，隨即我便加入了美國陸軍兩年。之後，我在一所小型的社區大學就讀，完成了我初步的學業，同時也專攻新式媒體研究及軟體應用設計上面。之後我進入聖道大學就讀，並在此得到了我的傳播藝術學士學位，主攻新聞及影片製作。

在我大學的最後一年，我在圖書館裡遇見了我的妻子，她告訴我台灣的文化，我的妻子建議我應該要取得教育碩士，這樣子我們便可以一起住在台灣，所以我在2010年的12月取得了教育碩士，不久，我登記就讀三個月的教師認證課程，課程裡包含了在聖安東尼奧的Jewel C. Weitzelcenter十二週廣泛的實習教育課程，然後我通過了所有三項的教師考試，並獲得德克薩斯州的教師資格，不久後，我經由杜威海外教育公司找到在台灣教英文的機會。
