I was actually supposed to be born the day before on February 1st, 2003, but I was stubborn and was a day late. Incidentally enough, I find this somewhat ironic considering I pride myself on never being late for anything. I suppose I didn't once and never wanted to do it.again.]]> 2022-04-05 17:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbiesturgess/nsi929koxh7jv52n/wish/2131169923 shelbiesturgess https://padlet.com/shelbiesturgess/nsi929koxh7jv52n/wish/2131185061 Despite the immense challenges that Covid-19 brought to the educational environment during my last two years of high school, I still managed to put in the time and effort to graduate amongst the top of my class. On May 13th, 2021, I graduated from Fayetteville High School with distinguished honors and as a member of both the National Honor Society and the Science National Honors Society. Needless to say... I devoted a lot of time to my academics during high school. ]]> 2022-04-05 17:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbiesturgess/nsi929koxh7jv52n/wish/2131185061 shelbiesturgess https://padlet.com/shelbiesturgess/nsi929koxh7jv52n/wish/2131194351 As I've mentioned in previous assignments, I'd always known I wanted to be an educator, but it wasn't until I had my AP World History class during my junior year of high school that I truly determined what exactly I wanted to teach. Thus, I decided to major in social studied education. One might look at my long debate over what subject I wanted to teach as evidence that I probably spent just as long deciding what college I wanted to attend. However, that choice was a simple as deciding I wanted to teach in the first place. I had grown up with stories about the University of Arkansas from my grandparents, aunt, and my older sister, who all attended the U of A, and well... I fell in love with it. I was truly the only college that I wished to attend, and I don't regret that decision for a second.]]> 2022-04-05 17:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbiesturgess/nsi929koxh7jv52n/wish/2131194351
