Blog Assignment 1

I was born in Mobile and I have lived here my whole life. A few of my interest include Braves baseball, cricuting(electronic cutting machine for crafting) and a new interest of mine is tennis. The reason for my attendance at USA is because I could not see myself any where else. I came from a small private school, and although USA is not small it is not too overwhelming as well. I have one sister who is attending cosmetology school currently. She went to USA for one year and decided it was not for her; at least she tired! My mom was a stay at home mom the whole time I was in school, when my sister and I graduated she decided she did not want to just sit at home, so she became a substitute teacher at the school we attended. One day before work I went to visit her; she had 3rd grade that day. When I got there they were doing math work so I jumped right in and started helping. Helping those kids and realizing I just helped them learn made a huge impact on me that day. It was the greatest experience I had ever experienced I finally realized what I was supposed to do in life. That is when I decided I needed to change my major to education. Prior to education i was a business major. I love to be outside doing activities. I do not watch T.V.; never really been a big T.V. junkie. I am kind of shy, but in this field I think you kind of got to get over that; I am currently working on that part of my personality.

  1. I'm not a TV wacher either. Sports events. That's about it.

  2. My mom was also a stay at home home with my sister and I until I graduated middle school. She went back to work as a social worker in a nursing home. I'm a bit shy as well, but being in education classes where we are required to speak in front of people has helped me break out of my shell a bit. That's very cool that you enjoy Braves baseball! :)
