My

State, majoring in Secondary Education,

In January, I'll be student teaching in the Hershey

out my professional teaching portfolio and information here.
Here's a little joke my mom sent to me.
I wonder if it's real...
This is a picture of me from my senior year of high
school. It's old but it's me. I've done a lot of different things in
college. If you want to know specifics, read my resume.
I am a brother in the Alpha
Pi Chapter of the Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity.
Here is my favorite Phi Sigma Pi picture.
I am
a vegetarian, grace à John Locks and his theory of mediation.
There are some awesome sites out there for "us" including:
I LOVE WINNIE THE POOH!!
My Mom
and Dad live near
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with my turtle, Hershey. He is a
red-eared slider and looks like this (although this is not him).
He's about six inches long and likes to bite. grr. Amanda,
my little sister, is a junior at Clarion
University. My big sister,
Ginny Rose, and my niece, Devin, live far away with Eric, but I see them every now
and then. Devin is in third grade and learning to read.
I spoil her rotten. It's great being an aunt! Check out the
pics of ma belle famille.
"We Are A Family"
Since before any of us were
born,
God planned for us to share
our lives together.
He knew exactly how our strengths
and
weaknesses would balance one
another and the
depth of love, understanding
and commitment
We would learn to feel.
He knew the richness, of our
separate
characters would be developed
through hard
times and that mutual trust
and respect
would be born as a result of
overcoming the
trials together. He knew we
would need each
other....to hug.....to help....to
teach....
to serve...to love.....
Because woman's work
is never done
and is underpaid or unpaid
or boring or
repetitious and we're the first
to get fired
and what we look like is more
important
than what we do and if we get
raped it's
our fault and if we get
beaten we must have
provoked it and if we raise
our voices we're
nagging bitches and if we enjoy
sex we're
nymphos and if we don't we're
frigid and if
questions, we're neurotic and/or
pushy and
if we expect childcare we're
selfish and if we
stand up for our rights we're
aggressive and
"unfeminine" and if we don't
we're typical
weak females and if we want
to get married
we're out to trap a man and
if we don't we're
unnatural and because we still
can't get an
adequate safe contraception
but man can walk
on the moon and... for lots
and lots
of other reasons, we are part
of the
women's liberation movement.
I’ve been asked some questions about this poem and I want to set the record straight. No, I am not a
lesbian nor am I a radical feminist. I am just a woman who stands up for myself and believes that other women should do that same.
