I have lived in Oregon for about 16 years. I moved here from California with my mother and three siblings. I currently live in Salem but have lived in Woodburn, Wilsonville, and Keizer. My mother and siblings now live in Washington.
I have an 18 month old daughter, who is the love of my life! Life with a toddler is crazy, but very rewarding! I guess this is good preparation for a teaching career! I work full time at Chemeketa Community College and don't have much time for a social life. Life is pretty crazy, but after hearing other people in class, I realize I am not alone. Many others have pretty crazy lives too!
I am a bit nervous about the technology class, since I am not tech savy at all. I am easily overwhlemed when it comes to learning new technology. After our first ed tech class meeting and especially after atending the OTEN conference, I understand the importance of using technology in the classroom. I will make an effort to learn and use technology that will be beneficial to my students. I am both excited and nervous about what's to come, but I look forward to learning all I can about becoming a great grade school teacher!
