My teacher at the time wasn't great and we spent most of our time watching films rather than reading or doing any real work that you would expect from an English class but my interest was sparked nonetheless. ]]> 2018-09-06 05:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278280082 madyhopper48 https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278280631 Reading the fictional Percy Jackson books was connected the material I was learning, but was so much more interesting than the films we were watching in class. In a strange way this bad teacher got me interested in reading and was a major reason that I began to look for books that interested me. ]]> 2018-09-06 05:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278280631 madyhopper48 https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278281186 Once I figured out that I was most interested in reading about things I would normally watch on TV I began reading more-especially since at the time we didn't have a television at my house. Since none of my siblings were really interested in reading, we never really had books at my house.]]> 2018-09-06 05:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278281186 madyhopper48 https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278281444 When I started to show an interest in reading my mom and my Papa were both always buying me new books and encouraging me s that I knew they supported me. ]]> 2018-09-06 05:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278281444 madyhopper48 https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278281709 I still like reading, and even changed my major to English education after my first year of college. During the semesters most of what I read is assigned, but I still read for myself when I get the chance.]]> 2018-09-06 05:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278281709 madyhopper48 https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278283796 My high school promoted career pathways, which I entered and took classes aimed at students in the medical field. I graduated high school with a certificate from the pathway as well as my being trained as a certified nursing assistant but still wasn't totally convinced that I wanted to pursue nursing, since my experience was more like babysitting. ]]> 2018-09-06 05:55:14 UTC https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278283796 madyhopper48 https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278285814 Within the next few years I plan on graduating from Fresno State and enrolling in the credential program to become a teacher. I hope that I will inspire my students to grow everyday like I know I have. ]]> 2018-09-06 06:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/madyhopper48/1imv8k9lluv0/wish/278285814
