I took Computer Literacy as a general requirement in the Fall of 2006. Therefore, this class is basically just repeating that. I own a brand new HP laptop equipped with Microsoft Office 2007, and Windows Vista. I also own a fairly up to date cell phone and use it on a daily basis.

In this class I hope to gain more knowledge about using programs such as excel, and possibly access. I also hope to learn about things on our syllabus such as Inspiration, and Wiki. I also desire to learn better usage of Powerpoint, since now a days teachers tend to use powerpoint quite often.

In high school I took two years of musical theatre and two years of drama, and I was in three musicals. I was in the marching band for four years and played clarinet and flute. Most of my time is spent with my significant other, Christopher. I am still currently considering going to law school, but no decision has been made as of yet. I want to teach high school sophomore english, inspired by a family friend. Lots of people hate writing, but I enjoy it, as long as it's about something I like.

That's really cool you were in school musicals back in high school! I definitely always enjoyed going to the ones my school put on and the Broadway plays at our city's theater. It was always fun to see the ones at school because I liked watching my friends doing something they loved. That's neat you want to be a 10th grade English teacher though. My 9th/10th grade English teacher (he looped) is definitely in my top 3 for favorite teachers, plus he was my tennis coach. Most people go in hating writing, but a good teacher with a lot of passion for their subject can change that mindset so quickly! :o) See you around!
