journal 1 - Intro Letter




Hi, my name is Ashley and I'm from Johnsburg, IL originally. I grew up in Johnsburg, until I graduated high school and then moved to Chicago. I moved to Chicago to go to College. After I graduated from College, it was time for me to move out to San Diego.
I am a PC person. My old roommate back in Chicago had a Mac, it drove me nuts when I would try to use it. I'm on a computer everyday, whether it just be for checking emails or doing homework. I love the computer, I can't even remember what my life was like before computers. I depend on technology very much. If it wasn't for email, I would never talk to my friends or family. I hate talking on the phone, email is so much easier for me.
What I liked most about the mission statement was how it talked out diversity. I think diversity is a big part of being a teacher. You will have many students from all parts of the world in your class. I think it's great that this school makes such a big deal for everyone to understand that diversity is important. This mission statement had nothing to do with why I picked this school. I had talked to other teachers, who had said that CSUSM was a great school to get a teaching credential in.
