Before Bloomsburg, I lived in… Bucks County Pennsylvania

At Bloomsburg, I want to major in…Secondary Education English

Right now, I’m most interested in…My English and Education classes. I want to learn how to become the best teacher I can be.

My favorite musical artist is….Mumford and Sons

My favorite movie is….The Perks of Being a Wallflower

One thing I like to do in my spare time is…Hangout with my family and friends

When it comes to technology, I’m most comfortable with…(put X next to all that apply)

Microsoft Word X Microsoft Powerpoint X Email X Cellphone X Text messaging X Taking cellphone pictures X Taking cellphone video X Taking cellphone audio X Video editing Blogging or Social Networking (e.g., Facebook) X Making websites

My favorite teachers were the ones who… Made learning relevant to my life and saw the potential in me that I sometimes couldn’t even see in myself. They always inspired me to learn and reach for more than what I thought I could do. They listened when I spoke, and they always encouraged me with any answer that I gave or question that I asked.

But I didn’t like classes in which… Teachers made me feel uncomfortable or stupid for not knowing an answer. I also didn’t like classes that I did not find to be relevant to my life.

In this class, I’m most nervous about…INSIDERS

In this class, I’m most excited about…Field Work at Southern Columbia High School

If there’s one thing you should know about me as a student, it’s…I’m really hard working and always put forth my best effort. I am also nervous about student teaching because I feel I do not have enough experience in the classroom yet. Hopefully this field placement will help ease my nerves.

If there’s one thing you should know about me in general, it’s…I’m really easy going and love to learn!
