Who I am....

I am a Sophmore at the Univeristy of South Alabama and I am majoring in elementary education and plan on get my masters. I have always enjoyed being around children and watching them grow, which led me to my decision to choose this major. I am a hard worker and hopefully will one day have my dream job of being a elementary school principal.

I attend school on Tuesday and Thursdays because I live over an hour away in Jackson, Alabama. I choose not to live in Mobile while attend The University due to the fact that I love my job. I work at Jackson Wood Fiber on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of every week as full time Secretary.

I am also an outdoors lover. I spend my winter days hunting with my father and brother for white tail deer. My summer days are spent at St. Stephens Park riding horses with my family and swimming afterwards.

Why I Want to be a Teacher...

For so many people the thought of being a teacher and “having to put up” with children all day would be pure torture, but for me, I cannot wait. I want to make a difference in each child’s life that I encounter. I want to bring the joy and excitement with everything they learn from me. I do not want their experience of elementary learning to be one of a drawn out day in which they cannot wait to go home, but one of enthusiastic learning. I want each child to understand that learning and being intellectual is the one thing they can use when all else fails. Bringing joy and a good experience into the life of children can only make their life a more enjoyable one where they will want to learn more (hopefully).

Facebook

Since everyone is not familiar with all forms of web technology, I will be available to my parents on more than one networking source. Facebook is the most common way to communicate that I have found. I do not want any parent to feel like they are not able to know what is going on in the classroom because they are "Technology Illiterate." I will show any parent how any one of my networking pages can be accessed and used.
The only thing about facebook that is "different" from blogging (and this is why I think that blogging will be an easier way to communicate) is because on facebook the parents will have to have their own account to access my information. This might not be a problem to some people but I do not want to inconvenience anyone. Well at any rate, I will be available to all parents at all times threw all different forms of communication!
