More About Me

Topic: Perception

My name is Adrienne Woods. I have two older sisters and they are both married and have their own families.Iwas born and raised here in Warner Robins, for 14 years of my life. In the fall of 2001, my dad was transferred down to Ft.Walton Bch, Fl, (HE IS NOT MILITARY) to be a site manager for his company. In January of 2002, my mom and I moved to Florida with my dad. That Fall, Iwent to Calvary Christian Academy and graduated in May 2006. I played volleyball, did two spring plays, two Christmas plays, school competition all four years I was there. I loved it every minute I was there.

During my senior year, I had the opportunity to be a teacher's aid. I started out helping six teachers, but a couple of them told me that wanted to let the other teachers have a chance to get the help that they needed. I really enjoyed it. It gave me a chance to work with the students,see all the work, planning, teaching, it takes to being a teacher. I also got to do one-on-one work with some students, I answered their questions, got to know them, help them with their seat-work. That's when I realized this is what God wanted for me to do, to major in.

I love to be around kids, but there is another reason why I want to be a teacher. As a child in elementary school, I didn't receive the education I needed. So, I fell behind and had a hard time catching up with the rest of the class. I want to be able to HELP kids with problems they may have with learning. I want to be able to HELP THEM OVERCOME barriers they may have... That and my my knowing what God wants for me, are the real reasons why I want to become a teacher.

I guess that one thing that can distort my perception is the way i sometimes think. At times i let my anger get the better of me and emotionaly explode, but normally i can keep that in check. When it comes to doing things, whether it be for someone or just for myself, i prefer to do things the simple way. When it comes to making supper, i pick something that is easy and something that i know i can not easily forget about. there are times when i do things the hard way, but that is not very often.

I always have an open mind about things. Unless proven otherwise, i think about what i might be able to do help someone with something. that is the way that was made who i am. i love to help people, that on one ocassion i did not pay attention to what was going on. i do not blame myself for what happened, but i know that i need to keep my eyes and ears open and pay attention more.
