Introduction

This is beginning as an assignment for ED Tech 202 in the Summer of 2009...we'll see if it continues. My husband has been urging me to have a blog for years, a venue for my rants and raves about life. I think he may be tired of listening to me. No, that couldn't be.

I am currently an ELL Tutor at an Elementary school. I love my job! I have a BFA in Ceramics from BSU and I am now working toward my teaching certification. My teaching focus will be Elementary Education with possibly an ELL endorsement. I am interested in teaching because (as aforementioned) I love it! I think it is the most important job. What could matter more than helping kids learn?

A little about me...I was born with uncanny powers, all I have to do is twitch my nose and whatever I want comes to fruition...oh wait, that's what I wanted to happen. In truth, I was raised in Meridian, Idaho with positively mortal powers. I played tennis and danced on drill team, and dreamed of the day I would leave that one-horse town and bust out in the big city. Now here I am in Boise, ID.

I am the mom of one miraculous human and one quirky and adorable guard dog who is part min-pin, chihuahua, bat, rat, and opera singer. I have had many occupations in my life, to name a few: retail clerk, bartender, bell hop, Realtor. As I mentioned above, I have a degree in Art so I have a penchant for aesthetics. (Can one have a penchant for aesthetics? Perhaps that's a bad word choice, may need to edit that out later.)
