Blog Assignment 1

ABOUT ME   
      I was born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, but raised in Grand Bay, Alabama. After I graduated high school in 2001, I married David Sprinkle and moved to Irvington. We have been married for almost ten years and have three beautiful little girls Analese(7), Ansleigh(5), and Ashton(3). They are the center of my whole world! I was a stay at home mom for six years before deciding to go back to school so, it was one of the hardest decisions that I have ever made. I would have to say that spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do. We love staying summers in our beach house on Dauphin Island. While there we boat ride, play on the beach, and my favorite is fishing. We catch everything from red fish and snapper to white and speckled trout. When we are not doing that we love to vacation in Disney World. It is the most magical place in the world! My husband is the head baseball coach at Alma Bryant High School, so during the spring you can find us at the ballpark. We love watching his games, but my girls just like running onto the field to hug their dad when the game is over. They also have extra activities that keep me busy. Analese is a competitive gymnast for Planet Gymnastics: we travel all over for meets. She is the 2011 Alabama Level 4 State Champion in bars, floor, vault, and all around! Sorry, had to brag a little! My middle child does ballet, and my little one, well I will just say that terrible two's do not really end at two.
     When I have time for myself, I enjoy walking, sewing, and cooking. Most of all, I enjoy children. I chose to become an elementary teacher for that reason. There is never a dull moment with children. You never know what they are going to say or do! They are like little sponges waiting to absorb any information that they can and I love watching them learn new things. Because I had not been in a school setting in ten years, I chose to begin at Bishop State, where it was smaller. There was never a question about where I was going after that: my husband, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law are all graduates of USA and I will be proud to say that I will be one to.

RANDY PAUSCH
     Being a college student and a mother of three young children it is very important to know how to manage your time wisely. You must be very organized and plan out every day, week, and month. I like when he asked what would happen if you didn't do something. Sometimes the consequences are much greater. He made me realize that sometimes your plan, or "to do list" will change. You just have to make small adjustments.

TIME MANAGEMENT
     I currently use a planner with everything written down and it is very helpful. I know that if I didn't have one I would be less likely to complete everything.
