Learning Autobiography

Can I just tell everyone that I L.O.V.E.D. writing my literacy autobiography! I loved remembering and looking back at all of my memories of becoming literate. I feel like I'm very literate in some aspects of my life and in others I still have tons of room to grow. I loved talking with my mom about learning to talk, read and write. It was so much fun to look back and see how far I've come now. I will defiantly do some of the things my mom did with me for my kids. I will make sure we make reading books together a huge part of our lives because that is one of my greatest childhood memories. Reading stories every night with my mom was a highlight of my childhood and I want my children to be able to experience the same thing. I am loving my literacy class because I'm learning so much about myself as well as how to make my future classroom a better place.

Introduction

Hello everyone! I'm Gentry James and I'm currently a senior at USU studying Family and Consumer Sciences Education. I LOVE my area of study! I can't wait to teach what I love most! In my free time I love to run, cook, bake, camp, four wheel, watch my husbands softball games, hang out with family and participate in my newest addiction...PINTEREST! I've been married for over 2 years and love life! I love FACS with all of my heart! I have a huge passion for food and nutrition as well as fashion and adult roles! I love to work with people;especially those younger than me. I think having skills and knowledge in the FACS subjects are essential for living a successful life. FACS teaches skills like cooking, money handling, interviewing skills, child care and garment producing. I have always wanted to be a teacher since I was old enough to talk. I love teaching new things to people and helping them better themselves. There is not one area of FACS that I dislike...So I figured I would LOVE my job if I went into this profession.
