A little about me..

I'm 22 years old and from the small town of Durham. I was born in Fort Bragg, CA (only lived there for a year) but it is one of my favorite places to visit. I am really close with my family and love that they live near Chico so I can go bug them whenever I want (and get home cooked meals). I have a sister who is 16 and we are complete opposites which I think is why we get along so well (In fact, I think the only thing we argue about is stealing eachothers clothes). I'm a bookworm and a die-hard Twilight fan. I worked in the English Department on campus for a couple years and kinda miss it. I spend way too much time on Facebook. My favorite food is sushi (my dad thinks I'm addicted). I walk in May and get to go to Portugal for graduation! I am in love with San Francisco and plan on moving there after I finish school.

I want to teach because I love children and hope to make a positive impact on their lives. I had a couple great elementary teachers who really influenced me. I think it would be amazing to be able to give back and influence the lives of children the way I was influenced by my teachers. I am looking forward to ENGL 341 and hope to learn more about the role reading plays in the classroom. Also, ways to really get children excited about reading.
