Blog Post 1
I was born and raised here in Mobile, Al. I am the oldest of three girls. I have two children, a seventeen year old
daughter who is a junior at Leflore High School, and a seven year old son that is
a second grader at Dickson Elementary School.
Besides being a student at South Alabama I am also employed fulltime at
ST. Aerospace Mobile (an aircraft repair station) where I have been for the
past 11 years. For the last 3 years I
have been a purchasing agent procuring aircraft parts. I love spending time with my family. I like taking and planning our vacations
together.
I love being around children, it has always been my passion
to teach them. It saddens me when I see
children that want to learn but don’t have the teacher with proper training to
teach. Children are always asking questions
and I want to be able to give those answers to them the correct way. I have been working on this journey of getting
my Bachelor of Science degree since 2005.
There have been a few obstacles that have slowed me down but I am still
pushing to the end. I must admit that I
have signed up for this class at least three times and I every time I receive
the message from Dr. Strange I said, “I am not taking that class.” Well I’m here now and ready to take this
challenge.
Randy Pausch
I have never heard of Randy Pausch until I watched this
video. However I did see other videos
about him that I will try and watch later.
Randy has given me a few pointers that I need to adhere to fast in order
to past this class. Number one I will be
getting a planner just for this class that I can pull out for quick viewing. Secondly,
I will start creating To Do Lists of what is priority for that day instead of
the whole week or weeks at a time maybe this will be a little less
confusing. Dr. Strange should add Randy’s, Goals,
Priorities, and Planning steps to his Rules of Success for EDM310.
Time Management
I
did look at the time management exercises; I did see few areas I will need help
with. I do have a problem with time when
I am working on something that takes longer than I thought it should have. I will be viewing the exercises and lessons
in depth to correct all the problem areas.
