Meet The Teacher

So...a little about me. I am a brand new teacher just out of school. When I tell my parents I am only 23 their mouths drop! I recently married my Best Friend this past July in the most amazing place....Santa Cruz (it is where we met).

Just to let you know how crazy my life has been this year..I am going to give you a little breakdown:

        June 2010: Graduated with a Masters in Digital Teaching and Learning from Azusa Pacific University...Go Cougars!

July 2010: Get married in Santa Cruz

Go to Costa Rice

While on my Honeymoon get a call about an interview

One Week of being back from our honeymoon I get the job and must move away from my husband for a month

August 2010: Start my first teaching job in my home town

September 2010: Husband finally moves to be with me

Our home is in the process of being remodled

November: Finally move into our home but we have no kitchen :(

February: My life is finally normal and my house is FINISHED!!!

Q: What would you be doing if you weren't teaching?A: I am not sure...since I could remember, I have always wanted to be a teacher. If not teaching then still working with students but probably in a camp setting. 

Q: What are your hobbies?

A: I really enjoy decorating and because I just moved into my new home, my current hobby is decorating my house!

Q:When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A: I have always wanted to be a teacher but for a little while I was obsessed with the weather so I thought I wanted to be a meteorologist.     

Q:What are your guilty pleasures?

A: I love goldfish...I have them hidden in my classroom! I also have to have a Sugar-Free Vanilla Latte almost everyday (it doesn't help that my husband manages a starbucks). I also love to shop...I think I look at J.Crew.com almost 4 times a week, even though I know it doesn't change that much.

Q: When your on Vacation, where do you like to go?

A: SANTA CRUZ....it holds a special place in my heart and I could never get enough Peet's Coffee with Erik's Deli!!!

Q: What is the best advice you ever recieved?

A: To always do my best and to never let anyone tell me that I won't be able to achieve my goals in life.

Q:What do you value most in others?

A: I appreciate when people are real (honest). I like to get to know people for who they are, not what someone else has told them they are or should be. I believe knowing who you are and sharing that with others despite difference is important and is what makes this world interesting!

Q: If you could have lunch with anyone in the world living or dead....who would it be?

A: I would want to have lunch with my grandma so that I could share with her all that has happened in my life. Also Jesus....He is a pretty awesome guy!
