question # 1

I have never really read much because I find myself having to read the book more than once just to understand. I also have a better understanding when I read out loud. Those are probably some of the reasons i don't like to read, and then I find it really hard to find extra time to read any adult books. I read little kids all the time because i have three little boys that love to read. Now that i have taking a english I find myself wanting to read more and i do enjoy reading the essays we have for class.

Experiences with reading and writting

Ø  Before this course, what did you anticipate? I expected a a lot more papers, I also expected it to be more alone time not so much discussion time. Which i enjoy 

Ø  What were you unsure of and why? I thought we would have to read aloud all the time and before this class i really never like to read aloud, i was always embarrassed when reading in front of the class. 

Ø  Discuss your process as a reader and as a writer I feel that i have came a long way since the begininig of the class i find my self writing  good papers if i allow myself the time and as a reader i find it easier to read now and i enjoy reading outside of class.

Why i decided to go to college

 I decided to go to college because I felt I like  the job I was at was not my dream job. I thought that I wanted to be a hair stylist when I got out of high school, I went to Vatterotte College and got my cosmologist license and starting working in a salon and started to realize that is not a job I enjoyed. I love doing hair on the side just not on a day to day agenda. I always work in a daycare and I love working with kids and I have always wanted to be a elementary teacher, so I decided I would go back to school to pursue my dream. I also a little girl in one of my class that has inspired me to be a teacher in special education. I love being the one to make a difference in people life. So that is the reason I have decided to go back to college. Also the fact that being a teacher, and having I kids I would get all the same days off as them and I would not have to find addition childcare.
