Blogging eh?

           Well this is my first post and I am actually quite excited to start blogging. I (like most) have always thought about blogging, but thought I had nothing worth while to say. But I think this could be a great place to share resources as well as create a network of resources for others, to become, what I think will be a better, more knowledgeable and exciting teacher.
     First off, a little about myself. I am from a small town in Southern Manitoba. I have two siblings, one brother and one sister. My mom is a retired elementary school teacher and I credit her for my interest in becoming an educator. I use to spend my last week of summer vacation in her classroom, as she got the class ready, I would pretend to teach and draw all over the chalk board (and sometimes pretend it was my own classroom). I have a love for hockey and winter sports. I learned to skate on an outdoor rink at a very young age, and soon became involved in the minor hockey system. I played organized hockey till I graduated in 2009. During my time in school I traveled to New Orleans Louisiana, and helped rebuild a house after hurricane Katrina. I also went to Italy in grade 12 and after that trip I caught the travel bug, and I have an itch to go back, and explore even more. After graduation, I moved to Brandon and started attending Brandon University, I graduated with my BA in June with a major in History and a Minor in Sociology. I am now in the Middle Years stream in the Faculty of Education at Brandon University, and enjoying (almost) every minute of it!
      I hope I can keep up with this blog, even after the semester ends. I hope you all enjoy my posts, and I'll try my best to keep it as resourceful as possible.
