Three words to describe me would be quiet, hardworking, and happy. I have always been quite a shy girl until you get to know me -- then I break out of my shell and no one can shut me up! I am very hardworking in all that I do. I strive to be the best in everything I sign up for, and I am never satisfied with the average. No matter what, I always try to keep a smile on my face because my family taught me that it's important to always look on the bright side of life-- you never know how much your smile may affect someone.
My family are my biggest motivation because no matter what, they are always there to support my decisions. As a young girl, I always wanted to be just like my brothers-- I even went to their Boy Scout meetings and events. This started to change as I entered elementary school. I attended Glenmore Elementary and was heavily involved in cheerleading, Girl Scouts, and swimming. From 5th through 7th grade I was a member of the San Angelo Stampede junior dance team. I discontinued cheerleading and dancing after middle school, though, because I knew swimming was what I would rather be doing. When it was time for me to begin high school, I continued my love of swimming on the Varsity swim team for all four years, and along with three of my other teammates, got to compete in the state swim meet my senior year. I also continued with Girl Scouts, and in 2011, I received my Gold Award, which is the highest award any Girl Scout can get. I graduated from Central High School in 2011, and received many scholarships that enable me to attend Angelo State University.
I decided to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education because I love being around children and watching them learn. For the past five years, I have helped coach an elementary aged swim team and made my own business teaching private swimming lessons in the summer. Although I always thought I wanted to teach around the fourth grade, I now plan to teach either Kindergarten or P.E.. Even though I am getting my degree in education in Texas, I am still deciding whether I want to move to a foreign country such as England or France and teach there. No matter where I end up, I know I will be happy because I will be doing what I love.
