My name is Diane Boudreau and I originally moved from Louisiana when I was a little over two years old. I have lived in Spanish Fort since then and absolutely love it. I went to Mississippi State for my freshman year with the intent to go into Wildlife and Fisheries Pre-vet, but found out the tough way that I am allergic to animals. And that means all of them, if they have dander, I sneeze. From there I headed to Faulkner State to get my Associates in Elementary Education. A year and a half later I got my Associates and decided to go to USA. South was not originally my first choice of school, but after researching a little, I found that it wasn't just that school across the bay but a pretty good school, with a good great College of Education.
As I said I live in Spanish Fort, and I have a brother and a sister. Although I am allergic to animals we have a zoo at my house: two dogs, one cat, two birds, a turtle, and a rabbit. I have always loved animals so regardless of my allergies they will always be in my life. I also love to be around children, they are simply happy, kind, and most of the time untainted. I went into teaching because my two passions in life are helping animals and helping children, but since I'm miserable around animals I figured I can help children out more and with less sneezing. I like to read books anywhere, anytime. I have also been an avid swimmer since I was three and can not imagine living my whole life without having access to a pool.
This is my dog Emma, she can be kind of stupid and really silly but I love her just the same.
Dr. Paush's Video
In Dr. Paush's video I learned that although I believe I have pretty good time management skills, that there is alot I can do to manage my time better. Managing my time and doing the hardest or biggest thing first is the best way to get everything I need to get done for the day or week. Many people in America do not manage there time well, but after watching this video I believe I have taken with me enough new information about time management that I can safely and efficiently get all my work done way ahead of the due dates.
Hi Diane, my name is Stephanie Hogue. I am also from Louisiana. I was born in Baton Rouge and lived there until I was adopted when I was nearly three years old. Now, I live in Mississippi in Moss point. I love your blog. I like that it is colorful. I am going to see if I can make mine cute like yours.You gave a great description of yourself. I felt like I knew you after reading you post. I am not very good at being descriptive. I guess I should be working on that. My youngest daughter is six, and she absolutely loves animals like you do. We have a dog named kayla. We also have two turtles, a frog, six goldfish, and a beta.Last year we even had a chicken that she called chicky girl. My daughter would have an animal of every kind, but I am also allergic to almost every thing with fur. I agree that children are happy, kind, and untainted. Because you have a passion for helping children, I think you will be a great teacher. It was very nice reading your blog and getting to know you a little better. Good luck with this class and your others, as well. I will probably see you sometime in class.
