A Little About Me

The last few years a lot has happened to me. I graduated high school in 2008 and moved to attend school. I was so excited to get out of my parents house and be on my own. Well I got into a relationship with someone a lot older than me, not the best idea I've ever had. I thought that he was great then I really got to know him. I do not want to bash this person so I will not go into details. He was not who I thought he was and he was not the person I tried to make him into. After 1 year and 8 months I finally began to realize that I was very unhappy and could not stay in that relationship anymore. So I ended it and have not looked back since.

I am more happy now that I have ever been. I do not have controlling parents or a controlling boyfriend. I have finally had time to work on myself and focus on me for once. Mostly I focus on school and just being a young college student. My life has gone through some crazy twists and turns but I would not change one thing about where I am right now. I have learned a lot and have grown up even more. I have also realized it is okay to let loose and have fun.

I will graduate with a bachelors degree in 2012 and can not wait! But I am also looking forward to my life in the next few years of my life and to see what is thrown my way! :-)

General Info

These last few years have been pretty crazy for me. Things have happened in my life that have shaped me into who I am and the person I am becoming. I cannot say all of these events were good nor were all of them bad, it was a mixture of both situations. Though I have been through a lot lately I am much happier today than I have been in a very long time.

I am an English Language Arts major at Troy University, basically I will be a secondary English teacher. I cannot wait until I get into a classroom and start making a difference. This is something I have been preparing for my whole life and did not even realize it. All though school I was pulled out to assist teachers of a younger grade as a tutor or aide. I was also selected as a peer tutor on many occasions and then there were those times that I just helped out my classmates who were struggling. Education has always been an important aspect of my life and I am so excited to get the oppertunity to change someone's life. Even if I only impact one student for the better, then I feel my job will be accomplished.

This is my first post in what will hopefully be many more. Sometimes my life gets hectic and crazy and I might forget about it for periods of time but I hope that this is something I can keep up with.
