In 2011 I graduated from ASU with a BA in Integrative Studies. The reason I am taking this course is because I have decided to go to graduate school for Occupational Therapy. Since I have a BA I am needing to take prerequisites to make up for all of the science classes that weren't required for my bachelor program. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife Hillary and our two dogs Juniper and Pappy. We are also expecting our first child and she is due 2/22! When not trying pull things together for the baby I really enjoying cooking, playing and writing music, and getting outdoors playing lawn games with friends or just taking a hike. I look forward to the challenge of balancing work, school, and a new baby girl!
P.S. Since I'm on a long road before grad school my work is unaware that I'm taking classes, so if you happen to walk into my work it'll be our secret that we are classmates ;)

Hello, my name is Serenity Davis. I am 18-years-old my major is creative writing and events planning but I also want to look into the medical field as a backup major. I'm originally from California but have since traveled all over the countryside until my father's work brought us to Arizona. I love the sunshine here but sometimes it can get a little too hot. I've excelled in the public school system ever since I was five-years-old and I've always wanted to be one step ahead when it came to my education. My reason for taking this course is because I have always been interested in human anatomy and functionality. In my down time, when I'm not writing an essay or completing a project I love to write. I've always loved writing for as long as I can remember and even had one of my works published in an MCC writing contest.

Hi everyone!

My name is Caleigh (Kaylee) and I live in Mesa. I’ve lived there for about a year and a half now. I graduated from high school in 2008 and I did a few courses at SCC a year later and then took a very long break. I was talking to my boss about a year ago and was telling him I wanted to go back to school and the next day he told me he was going to pay for ALL of it. I was completely shocked but so grateful and excited to finally get back to school and get my degree. I’m hoping to complete my time at MCC by this Fall and then I’ll be transferring to ASU to get my Bachelor’s in Family & Human Development. For my degree this course was required for me to take but I would’ve taken it any way as an elective. It will give me a lot of insight into human development which is what my degree is all about. When I’m not working or doing homework I enjoy hiking (feel free to give me suggestions on new places to try) and I also really like going to Zumba. My roommate is an instructor and she really got me into it. I hope everyone’s semester goes smoothly!

This is Deysi Orbegoso and I live in Mesa. I am interested in this course as part of my degree but also because it will enrich my knowledge and help me as a mom of three.
I try to make my kids as happy as possible between work, my classes and home shores. Being a parent is not an easy role.
What we enjoy the most as a family is traveling when possible abroad or just a good time in Sedona or Payson.
I believe I will enjoy this course and am looking forward to keep learning every day.
Have great class!

My name is Kyle Gallagher and I am born and raised in Mesa, AZ. I attended Red Mountain High School and graduated there two years ago. I've been attending MCC at both campuses and online for the last two years. My current major is Elementary Education and Business (I'm undecided which direction I'll be going for my bachelors). I'm taking this course because I'm fascinated about how the human mind operates and having a deeper understanding of the mind and how it works. My personal interests are distance running( I love running trails), and analyzing cinematic classics (Forrest Gump is hands down the best), as well as travel. I actually get to run the New York City Half Marathon this March! I'm looking forward to learning more about the human psyche this semester.
