Hi!
Ok, first things first...


 * I have unabashedly ripped you off. I loved the font/text thing you used on your "about the author page,"  so, I stole it!  Please look at my page to view...

Second ...


 * Let me point out that your entire approach, and all your words tell me one thing -

'' you, most definitely should consider a career in correctional education. ''

Yes, Wallens Ridge and Red Onion or... Tha UN-yin! ...as they say out in Southwest.

Seriously.

Those places.

You talk, write and experience life such that you remind me of the wonderful collection of educators with whom I am so fortunate to associate myself. Nice to speak to you - Win Sisson, Virginia Department of Correctional Education: A great Place for Jennifer to learn about

Jennifer,  First off I didn't rip you off yet but i might. : ) This page is awesome!

I too live in southwest Virginia, I love the mountians and the outdoors.

I also totally agree with your ideas in your teaching philosophy.

You will make a great teacher!

Have a great day

God Bless,

Sarah

Sbart010 (talk) 16:02, 31 January 2009 (UTC) Just like many of the other people in this class, i love how you have experienced so much. I think what drew me to your posting was your teaching philosophy. I used to claim that i thought it was dumb to have to learn spanish in high school because we are in america and its unfair. But truthfully, i was just repeating what my parents thought. I did not give myself a chance to form my own view on it. At this time in my life I am really starting to settle in making my own choices and stop trying to make everyone else happy. Anyway, I like how you seem to get satisfaction out of the idea of students starting foreign language practices in elementary years. I think i agree. How much easier would the transition into the business world be if they were fluent in spanish??!! Best of luck in all your future goals.Llayn002 (talk) 02:25, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
