Here's the story...

So I've decided to let you all know just a little more about me.

I'm a sophomore at Elmhurst College. I'm studying History and Secondary Education. I've really enjoyed my classes so far at Elmhurst. My education classes are definitely my favorites. In these classes, I get to hear so many different points of view. They also keep my in check. Sometimes I speak about something I think is common knowledge or clear, and students let me know what I need to explain better. I observed one of my former history teacher's last year, and it was amazing to see how much the school and teaching has changed since I was a freshman there. My class was not nearly as diverse as the one I observed was. I can't wait to see how I grow as a student and teacher in the next few years!

Aside from school, I have a lot of interests. I work at a movie theatre. I get to work with so many different people, and I'm never bored. I also am a camp counselor in the summer. Working at the camp has developed so many good skills I can use as a teacher. I also am very into music, reading/writing, and art. I have a rather large amount of all types of music on my iPod. I also read a lot in the summer. When I'm stressed, I write. I also draw, scrapbook, and do many random crafts. I also spend a lot of time keeping up with friends and family.
