We went to church on Sunday, but now that we're all older we really don't go as much. Mostly just for big events. (Weddings, Funerals, Baptism...).]]> 2019-01-28 15:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/324985325 johnrossi680 https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/324987697 Believe it or not, I am indeed a twin. We're fraternal, though many people give us a mix of "You're Identical", "You're Fraternal", "You look nothing alike" and so on. My brother attends Kutztown University & is a Business Major. I currently am enrolled at Montco College doing a Double Major as a Nurse & Early Childhood Education professional in the making. We are both graduating soon & we tend to keep in contact as much as possible.]]> 2019-01-28 15:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/324987697 johnrossi680 https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/324990764 "If you want something, Work for it!". I was raised to learn how to be successful; & that opportunity will not find you, you have to find it. It may take some time, but I will eventually achieve my goals. I also value my friends & family, some of these individuals have been the biggest support for my success in life. In addition, my support comes from my elementary school students, I'm currently a sub teacher when available. My kindergarteners look up to me as a role model in so many different ways & they are always so excited when I'm at the school to help them with whatever they may need. It's things like this that make me want to keep moving up in life to show others that you can be whatever you want to be as long as you follow your dream & are determined!]]> 2019-01-28 15:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/324990764 johnrossi680 https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/324994347 Working in an elementary school, I can relate to many young children. Growing up, especially for this example during public school, I never had a dad that helped me through school or with anything in life. That being said, some of the children that I work with are in the same boat that I was when I was in elementary school. This is very hard for a child to understand, which is why a lot of the boys in my class & in other classes come to me for help & other advice. I remember in my EDU245 Connecting Families course about Parent Incarceration(s), Abandonment, Drug Use.... Long story short, my professor said I will make a big impact on children & that's what I am doing & will continue to do. I love helping people, which is one of the reasons I am in both of these fields. This picture below was when I first started my EDU Major & I had 4th Grade. Fun fact, one of my former students is my neighbor & I never knew!]]> 2019-01-28 16:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/324994347 johnrossi680 https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/325000582 When it comes to the big holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's, 4th of July...), I will usually spend it with my family at my grandmothers house. There are few times of the year that the whole family will travel from all over & meet here in PA & we all have a great time.]]> 2019-01-28 16:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/325000582 johnrossi680 https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/325011861 In my free time, whenever that is, I absolutely love to drive. In the summer, I drive through the mountains on open roads & speed down the scenic views of PA in a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder with the top off! The fun of this is that I get to blast my favorite music while I drive down the open roads & it's so relaxing. I will also drive to Lancaster to pick up fresh farm produce!]]> 2019-01-28 16:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/325011861 johnrossi680 https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/325020035 "Work for success, not for fame". I believe that if you stick to something, eventually you will achieve it. Nothing in life is easy. If you want to be a Nurse, Chemist, Teacher, Doctor.... you have to be determined & ready for hard work!]]> 2019-01-28 16:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/325020035 johnrossi680 https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/325070123 Something that makes me special is that I love to help people. This is why I am pursuing degrees in Nursing & Early Ed. I currently work as an assistant in a Neonatal ICU looking over critically ill Newborns. This is the beginning of my journey to become a Certified Registered Maternity Nurse & Elementary Ed Teacher. I look at people for who they are & not what they have.]]> 2019-01-28 18:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrossi680/agqm1g5sm63l/wish/325070123
