First blog ever... here we go!

Howdy there!
Thanks so much for stopping by... chances are you are a good friend of mine coming to support me or you randomly stumbled upon my blog- either way thank-you very much for sharing this momentous occation with me: my very first blog!  :P  I have been wanting to start a blog for some time now, as it is somewhat becomming quite popular amoug friends and family members, so I am pretty excited about this. I am kind of also going to use this as a journal for myself to see how far I will (hopefully) come within these next few months with my outlooks on education and life.

Right now I am in my 2nd to last semester of college as an Elementary Education student. I LOVE SCHOOL!!!! Seriously. This is a new sensation for me, as I always seemed to struggle throughout my K-12 years... (4th grade F in spelling on my report card will always haunt me)... but the ladies that I am proud to call my "education sistas" are fanomal and the teachers are great. I truly believe God had His hand on my life when he lead me into the education field. It was a spur of the moment decision after finding out classes at Santa Fe College were not offered for my nursing major, but I couldn't be any happier.

My plans as of now is to dominate (ohhhh yeah!!!) my internship which starts in the Spring... to try to be the best that I can be and try my hardest. I am scheduled to take the GRE on December 17th... super nervous about it. If all goes well with that, then I want to pursue a Masters in Elementary Ed on Chipola's campus and one day maybe a doctorate.

I am estatic about eduaction in general. I enjoy talking about, even though my "file folder" is pretty slim. If you are a teacher of any sort, a just a wise person with great insight... please feel free anytime to give suggestions and opinons! Really, pleeeease. As Harry Wong says, "Good teachers beg, borrow and steal!"

Well, I am off for now. This was really fun and kind of relaxing! Tomorrow I am giving two assessments at Grand Ridge, one with a 1st grader (an IRI) and one with a 6th grader (San Diego Quick Reading Assessment) so I should get some shut eye! Last night was a sleepless night staying up late to work on lesson plans.

Ta-ta for now!
