About Me...
Hi! My name is Kristen, but most people know me as Krisi. I was born and raised in Mobile, AL. I still live in Mobile with my husband. My husband's name is Willie and we have been married for almost three years. I also have a thirteen year old stepson named Willie who lives with us. My husband and I are expecting a baby in July and we are very excited! We will find out next month if the baby is a boy or a girl. We are hoping for a girl but, of course, we will be happy with whatever we are blessed with.
Part of the reason I decided to become a teacher was my stepson. He has lived with me since he was seven and I would always help with his homework and projects. When he would make a good grade, he would always be so excited to tell me and to say thank you for helping him. Knowing that I helped him make a good grade made me happy. His reaction to his grades made me realize that a good teacher can change a child's view on school altogether. I want to become a teacher so I can help children realize that school can be fun and is an extremely valuable asset in their lives.
Randy Pausch on Time Management...
The video of Randy Pausch discussing time management had numerous valid points in it. I liked that he suggested having a plan for every day, every week, and every semester as a whole. I also liked that he acknowledged that our original plan will have to change at some point. Another great point Mr. Pausch made was "failing to plan is planning to fail". We should always have a plan to start with. Also, he mentioned that it is better to do the right things accurately rather than do the wrong things beautifully. Randy Pausch really knows what he is talking about and he offers great advice on time management. I will take his advice on doing the worst thing on my to-do list first so I can get it over with.
When are you due? Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteNow I see - July. Couldn't be a better month! And the 12th would be an excellent day!
ReplyDeleteHi Krisi! My name is Jasmine Stevens and of course I am in your EDM class! First off, congratulations on so many things; being married, your first child, and becoming a teacher. I know this must be a very exciting time for you. I hope you have the little girl you are hoping for because they are so precious. Boys can be bundle of a joy and a handle full also! Parents and students like you encourage me to push forward because I want to be able to celebrate marriage and become a mother one day also. I commend you for pushing forward with your education with a new baby coming. I also have had the same motivation you have from your step son. Helping my younger sister in school as always put a smile on my face and helped me with deciding to become a teacher. Good luck with ALL the exciting things that you have going on in your life right now and enjoy it to the fullest.
