About Me

Welcome to my blog! I will begin by giving a short description about myself. I was born and raised in a small town of Northeast Georgia. I moved to Tennessee in 2010 about a year after I got married. Before moving, I attended Breanu University and Gainesville State College where I pursued my major in Psychology with a minor in Elementary Education. Since moving to Tennessee, I have been pursuing my degree in Elementary Education at the University of Tennessee. I am interested in becoming a teacher because it is a profession in which I will find both purpose and pleasure. I have a passion for working with children and a desire for life-long learning. I have the ability to create an environment for all students to learn and achieve academic success. I have confidence that I can enhance the student’s quality of life by being a caring, helpful, and positive role model, while being an efficient and effective teacher. I will be interning this upcoming school year (2011-2012) at Alcoa Elementary in a kindergarten classroom. After my internship I will graduate with my Master's!!! My hobbies include hiking, camping, and laying out at the pool, lake, or ocean. I also enjoy reading, however, I don't often have extra time to devote to reading due to class work. My favorite thing to do is either dinner and a movie or game night with my husband, friends, and/or family. I really try to cherish the moments I have with my family and friends because availability comes and goes and I know that this next year will start to get chaotic with doing my internship and taking classes.
