How I got here

Hello all, and welcome to my page!



To start things off, let me tell you a little bit about myself and how I came to be an education major at Northwest. Never in a million years did I ever think that I would be in education, but here I am today.



Growing up, I always thought of myself as not any good with kids, and I really didn't enjoy them that much. I hated babysitting and always accepted jobs begrudgingly. However, that began to change when my aunt had three children and decided to use me as her main babysitter. I soon came to love them more than I ever thought possible, and over time realized that kids were actually pretty fun.



As high school graduation approached, I shunned the idea of ever becoming a teacher. Several key people in my life always told me that I would be a great teacher, and that I would probably love it, but I just smiled politely and told them, "probably not". Not really being sure what I wanted to do, I decided to take my mom's suggestion and head in the direction of physical therapy. Soon however, I realized that I despised science.

To make a long story shorter... I then transferred to Boise Bible College after deciding I wanted to learn more about ministry and the Bible, and from there God lead me to the realization that what I wanted to do more than anything was impact the lives of young children, their parents, and my peers.

So here I am at Northwest, studying to do just that and loving every minute of it!
