Hello, my name is Mary. I am a full time student at Slippery Rock University, studying secondary education in English and Spanish. I am a full time employee at Papa Zeko's Express Grille in New Castle. I grew up as a Wilmington Greyhound and graduated from Lawrence County Career and Technical Center, from the Commercial Arts program. I fully believe in the expression of one's self, proven through my involvement in choir, my passion for art, and my goals in teaching in the language arts curriculum. I would also love to do something with American Sign Language, which I believe Slippery Rock needs to add in as a minor/major. I have an amazing boyfriend, Adam, with whom I've known since second grade. Also, I have a beautiful four-year-old daughter, Madison. I love watching her grow, especially in the sense of language. I take pride in her large vocabulary and understanding in words and expression. Some folks learn later in life that they have a passion in teaching...mine began at a very young age. I can remember playing barbies and setting up classrooms where I would teach all subjects. I can also remember helping my peers with their school work. Teaching, I think, is the most important profession in the world. Without teachers, there would be no other careers. One thing, however, I was never too good at was technology. I never experienced some of the things a lot of others my age have. I realize that technology is growing rapidly and is becoming interwoven in curriculum and I plan to learn as much as I can about the technology available so that I can become a better teacher in my future. I hope to take a lot with me from my classes at Slippery Rock and I thank all of the great teachers out there who shape every child's life for the better. For any one reading my blogs: always remember that optimism is a must!
<3 Mary
