Shannon's Introduction Blog

Hello everyone, I am Shannon. I am a freshman here at ISU! I am an elementary education major and am excited to begin my career as a teacher in the future. I am considering changing it to middle level education but have not made my final decision. I am very interested in young adolescents as well as young children. Family is very important to me a we are very close. I know I can go to them for anything I need! Each and every person in my family is there to support one another. I have many younger cousins that I love to be around. I believe they are part of the reason I want to be a teacher. Being around them gives me the opportunity to be a child again and it brings back many great memories from my childhood. On my free time, I enjoy working out because I want to stay in shape! The thought of the "freshman 15" frightens me! I also like to dance whenever possible as I took tap lessons for 15 years. I was very close with the girls in my class so it was very hard to say goodbye! A few qualities I value in any type of relationship whether it be with a significant other, friend, or family member, are honesty and respect. Having those qualities can get you very far with another person. I really believe those are the qualities that make the foundation of a relationship. Also, I love to meet new people! I hope to meet many more people this semester in all of my new classes.
