Assignment #1

Hi, my name is Abby Smith. I am twenty-one years-old. I was born and raised in Mobile, AL. I am the youngest of three children. I have a twenty-four year-old sister, Kaylee. I also have a twenty-two year-old brother, Austin. I have played softball since I was six. I played volleyball in middle school and part of high school. I also ran cross country the last two years of high school. I came to the University of South Alabama while I was still a senior in high school. I was accepted in the ACEP program, which enabled me to take a college course before graduation. I had originally wanted to attend the University of Alabama, but I was awarded the Presidential Scholarship at South. Also, my mother is the Construction Coordinator at South, so I get half of my tuition back each semester. Needless to say, it was much more affordable for me to come to South Alabama rather than Alabama.

I am double majoring in Secondary Education and English. I want to teach high school, because I love hearing what stories children at that age can come up with. I went to Davidson High School this past semester for my observation. I observed a tenth grade honors English class. It was so much fun. Those students were so witty. I loved hearing the things they had to say.
