Interests
There are a number of things that I enjoy doing and have an interest in. In reference to school, I enjoy spening time with the students in the Minority Teacher Education Program that I am Vice-President of at Grand Valley State University. We have discussions, meetings, and personal information sessions that are valuable resources to us as future minority educators.
I also LOVE to read in my spare time. I preferably like to read novels, but I am also very interested in fiction and children's books. My favorite authors are Max Lucado and Joshua Harris. Some of my favorite tales/books are, "The Scarlett Letter", "Othello", "Just Like Jesus", "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", and even "Season of Migration to the North".
I am a typical 21 year old college female. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, and my younger sister. We normally shop, go to movies, or talk on the telephone. I am not romantically linked to anyone, so "girl time" is ideal for me. I also love spening time at my home church, Messiah Missionary Baptist in Grand Rapids, M.I. I LOVE to shop, and am known as "the catalog lady" because I sift through all kinds of catalogs at my home to see what merchandise I can buy!
I love tutoring and working with children. This is one of the main reasons that I am planning to become a teacher. I currently tutor a third grade student at New Branches Elementary School in Grand Rapids. I also used to help teach a primary Sunday school class at my church for one semester.
I enjoy listening to gospel, r&b, salsa, and jazz music. I am a diverse lover of music, and probably don't have one specific interest in that category.
I myself play the viola, and have been playing since I was ten years old.
