About Myself/ Why I want to be a teacher/etc.

Well, I've never blogged before so here it goes! I'm a liberal studies major and this is my fifth year of school (only my second year at Chico State). The last three summers have been absolutely wonderful because I have worked at a summer camp in Portola, CA. Portola is in the middle of nowhere and the town has only one street light. That's right, one street light. Anyways, working with children has been a passion of mine and I want to work with them as a career, and I believe that teaching is most worthwhile.
I'm currently working for the Orion newspaper and I worked with them a year ago as well. Also, starting last semester, I started working in the Residence Halls as a Resident Advisor. I work with lots of freshmen in Shasta Hall in order for them to make their first year of college a success. As a matter of fact, a few residents from my building are in the class as well.
I expect this class to be a lot of fun. After seeing Ms. Jaxon's enthusiasm and love of literature, I can't wait to get reading. A few years ago, I had lots of trouble reading and writing and I never considered myself as a reader or writer. Since coming to Chico State, my writing skills have improved exponentially and I hope that during this class my reading skills will improve as well.
