Hello everyone my name is Brittney Henderson . I 'm 23 years old I am from Mobile,Al born and raised . I have 5 year old son who's name is Jalen Henderson he's my everything. I live home with my parents who I love dearly.I strongly believe between God and my family is the reason why I'm where I am today.I say that because I put God first in everything I do. My mom is a strong woman; I say that because three days out of the week I see her wake up ,and go take dialysis and come home like nothing ever happens. I admire her for that .
One day I told her," Mom I don't see how go threw that every week ." She replied," you would do it to of you wanted to live to see your children and grandchildren everyday." My dad has a great work ethic he's been on the same job for 40 years and in my eyes that's amazing . He told me to take pride in my work even in the most simplest things.My son Jalen was diagnosed with a mild form of autism when he was 2years old ,but he is smart as a whip and has a personally out of this world. I choose to become a teacher because; I feel students need someone not only to teach them ,but to encourage them and introduce them to what the world has to offer them.
When I was in school I thought teachers were one of the most smartest people I ever met. I come from a line of seven teachers ALL Early Childhood ,so I will be the first Secondary . I choose to attend the University of South Alabama because of its academic programs ,and I live literally 5 minutes away. So it's like I have a 2 for 1 deal. My major is Secondary Education in Social Science. I absolutely love history.
I chose history because I strongly believe that everyone should look at the the happenings of the past and appreciate what we have now, and where we are going in the future. I believe teachers are the most important people we need next to doctors, lawyers etc... I chose to teach high school because I feel that is the time when a student is making that transition from childhood to adulthood. That 's a time I feel their mind should be molded into what happens next. I also believe that everyone is a teacher is some aspects.
Teaching just does not end with math, reading, science, or history. And learning never ends no matter how old you are. My interests are learning new things reading/writing poetry , and spending time with my family.
Dr .Pausch
When watching Dr. Pausch video I certainly learned a lot about how to spend my time wisely when making deadlines in school. I get over whelmed sometimes when doing my work and have slight anxiety because I really don't know what to do first. Should I do the biggest task or the the small ones .

I will take Dr.Pausch advice and eat the biggest frog first. I have not heard of him ,but I will be viewing some of his lecture videos on YouTube. I am looking for a fun and successful experience in the course and I believe it will a exciting course.

Brittney, you seem to be a very enthusiastic person. I can tell through your writing that you have had many obstacles through your life that you have had to overcome. I, like you, am a very family oriented girl. I enjoyed reading your post. I think it really brings to light what a great person you are! However, I noticed a few spelling errors in your post. I know that it gets hectic with a child and school. If you would like to send me an email of your blog posts I would be more than happy to proof read them for you. My email address is h.sims90@gmail.com. Dr. Pausch’s video was a wonderful and inspirational video. I really liked the point about eating the biggest frog too!
ReplyDelete" Mom I don't see how go threw that every week ." There are two things wrong here. You is missing before go. Threw should be through.
ReplyDelete," you would do it to of you wanted to live to see your children and grandchildren everyday." Use too instead of to (because too means also and to is a preposition denting direction). Of should be if (a typo I suspect).
"I thought teachers were one of the most smartest people I ever met." One should be some since your subject is plural. Most smartest should just be smartest. You need had before ever since you are talking about the past (I think). So this is how your sentence should read: I thought teachers were some of the smartest people I had ever met.
Most of your commas are preceded with a space and have no space after them. This is the reverse of how commas should be used with spaces.
You have many more writing errors.
Heather has graciously volunteered to proofread you posts for you. I think you should proofread them first before you ask Heather for help (if you do). It is important that you become a good writer if you wish to have a job in the field of education. I suggest you buy and use a copy of Strunk and White, Elements of Style. I use it all the time.
