Project #2 Wordle

Blog Assignment 1

Hi, My name is Hillary Parmer. I was born and raised in good 'ole Mobile, Alabama. I graduated high school from Alma Bryant high in 2008, then went the following Fall semester to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. I went there for two years, and then last year, I transferred to South to begin taking Elementary Education classes. Over the summer, I married my best friend, James Parmer, and we now have a little girl on the way! I work at a retail pharmacy in Bayou la Batre named "RX Express" and have been there for two years. I wish I could say that I had awesome talents and interests like some people, but truth be told I am quite boring! I like to read books, watch movies, go to church, attend church activities, and get on facebook...I'm just a normal American!

Growing up, my mom was a teacher. She taught at private schools, and public schools. From K-5 to 3rd grade, I went to the school that my mom taught at. I always tried to tell my teachers that I was sick so that I could go sit in my mom's class room and watch her teach. When I was about 6, I pretended to teach to my stuffed animals in my room! As I got older, I realized that teaching is probably the only thing that I can see myself enjoying, (and it's important to enjoy what you do) so here I am!

The video on time management was very interesting to me. It made me realize how horrible at making and finishing to-do lists I am! He talked about doing the ugliest things first so that they will get done, and of course I always put them last and they never get done! An example: cleaning the house is always on there, and I always put it off so it doesn't always get done! He also talked about planning. He said "Failing to plan is planning to fail" and this is very true. If I don't plan things ahead of time, then usually they turn out horrible. This video was very helpful and I think that every college student should have to watch it!
