Hi everyone! My name is Brittany and I'm a graduate student in the secondary education program at Shenandoah University. My collegiate career began at Fairmont State University in West Virginia, where I obtained a B.A. degree in English. This education course is the last course I will take before I student teach in the spring. As geeky as it may sound, I didn't really need this course (meaning it wasn't part of my required course list since I'm in the initial licensure program), but I wanted to make sure I was well equipped for the modern day classroom- so here I am! After I begin teaching, I have plans to slowly work my way toward a doctorate in English. It is my goal to teach at the college level one day. I'm very passionate about literature and the field of English, so I'm really excited for the rest of my journey.
During the day, I work as a buyer at a company called General Dynamics Information Technology in Fairfax, VA. How did I get involved in that? Well, I was told it was a technical writing position, and after I interviewed and started working there I realized I did very little writing and an awful lot of buying. Oh well, a job is a job! They are very flexible with my school schedule and in today's economy, I am blessed.
In what little free time I have, I enjoy spending time with my two dogs (who are like my children), reading, shopping, playing video games, and traveling back home to West Virginia to visit family and friends. However, I recently found out about an addicting website called Pinterest and now that seems to consume every spare minute I have. I'm actually surprised I made it through this entire blog post without logging in to the site and checking out the newest posts.
I look forward to working with and learning from everyone throughout the course of this semester. Good luck and thanks for reading!
