Blog Post 1

I am a secondary education major, a sophomore, and have been at South since January 2010. I have always wanted to teach, since I was a child and would not play school with my sister and friends unless I was the teacher. They hated it because I actually made them do work and take tests! The tables have now turned. I am a student, I work two (sometimes three) jobs and am a single mother of a beautiful 6-year-old girl. Oddly (to me) she does not share my passion for school, reading, writing or history (yet). She is into the arts - dancing, acting, painting, creating crafts and making messes. I do not enjoy any of those things personally, but I participate because that's what a mother does.

My world revolves around her and school, and I squeeze work and family in wherever possible. I do not have much free time, but when I am able, I love to go to the beach, play pool, play spades, go shopping, travel, go to concerts and other events. Things I do well... Sad that I can't think of anything right off the bat! I am a transcriptionist by trade (I transcribe Sound Off for the newspaper), so I do that well. I'm a good student, friend and mother. I clean house well, another one of my professions. I also bartend and emcee parties on the side (third job), which I do well. I thought I wrote well until I had Mr. Jordan for English 102. I made the first B since starting college in his class. I haven't made another B since, but I am praying for a B in this class. That B really broke my spirit. I ramble well, as you can see. So I guess that's it! Oh and I procrastinate but usually do not turn things in late. I feel incredible anxiety and shame when turning things in late (including this assignment). I will definitely review the Time Management exercises and post on that... Later today...
