Some Hello's and Thank You's...

Welcome to my math blog, cutie  πs! 

First of all, hello and thank you for taking the time to venture into our world of elementary 

math with me. Let's rewind and tell you how I arrived at this destination in life. Ever since
I could remember, I wanted to be a veterinarian. I loved my animals and I wanted to help 

others' animals be well. One week into my freshman year of college, I changed my mind. I 

no longer wanted to do that. I was amazed at how quickly my life's goals had changed.
After that, I decided that I wanted to be an early childhood education major. That last
about 6 months, and once again my life took another turn. Next on the list of musical majors, 

I wanted to be a music major. I love performing, but I knew that if I made this my major, I 

would likely lose my passion for it. This transformed into music education, which again 

something changed my mind...the lack of piano skills and hand eye coordination to be 

honest. That bring us to 2013, when I realized that all the jobs I loved, had been working 

with kids and that no matter how many times I strayed away, I always came back to 

education. That's when it hit me, education is where I needed to be. My major is now 

Elementary Education. For those of you who aren't sure exactly where you are meant to
 be, just give it some time. Don't panic! What is meant to be will happen and when it does,
 you'll be glad you didn't force yourself into something else you thought was kind of neat. I
love what I'm doing now! I recently received my AA from Mesa Community College in the spring of

2014, and began my journey of earning a BA in Elementary Education through Northern

 Arizona University, this fall of 2014! Go Lumberjacks!

Little tidbits about me are:

• I love to sing.
• Karaoke is one of my most loved hobbies.
• I have a significant other who has always had my back in this roller coaster of life.
• We have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Captain and he's the light of our lives.
• I was not a math fan, but the more courses I take, the more I love math!
• My dream first teaching job would be as a kindergarten teacher in a district nearby, fingers crossed!
• Gail Seibolt told me, "You know what you want but you'll love what you get," in regards to landing teaching jobs. I wholeheartedly believe her.
• I love to craft and doodle on any surface I come in contact with.
• I enjoy all things hands-on.
• I aspire to inspire.
• I have two left feet, but that doesn't stop my interest in wanting to learn how to country dance.
• I currently work in bookkeeping at Home Depot.
• I try to better my baking and cooking abilities.
• I love mermaids.
• I love all things Disney...especially Frozen and The Little Mermaid.
• I'm so grateful to be here.

This is just the beginning, there is so much more to come. As I learn and relearn some neat math concepts, I'll be sure to share them with you all. Until next time, cutie πs!
