Blog #1

Since starting this course a few weeks ago, we have covered many different things like our essays we will be required to write, our readings and our reading responses, as well as our service learning. I have never had a course that requires a blog or service learning for that matter. I am pretty excited to decide on where and what I want to do my five hours of service learning. I have thought of a few ideas, I am just crossing my fingers that Dr. Marquard will approve of the one I am really hoping to do. Writing has never been my strong subject, but Dr. Marquard always makes our class interesting, yet fun. I am hoping to excel in this course and come out of it with not only a good grade, but also a better appreciation of writing.

Intro!

Hey everyone! My name is Natalie Abendschein. I am a sophomore here at UNC Pembroke. I am majoring in elementary education. I love kids with a passion. Each child has a personality of their own and I love to see them grow academically and physically. Children around 5 and 6 are my favorite to work with. They are just beginning the journey of life and learning the basics to what they will use for the rest of their lives and that's why I want to be a kindergarten teacher. I have a younger sister who is like my best friend. She can be the biggest brat in the world, but at the end of the day I love her to pieces and wouldn't trade her for anything. This blog was created for my English 1060 class to post weekly reflections and other things. Hope you all have a wonderful semester and enjoy!
