Blog Post Assignment #1

My Life
My name is Hailey Pope, I'm a sophomore here at South. I chose to go to South to stay close to home, because I am very close to my younger sister. My sister is one of the main reasons I decided to major in Elementary Education, third grade to fourth grade was such a big transformation for her and she struggled a little bit in some of her classes and didn't really receive the proper "teaching" when she was confused about things, so that really made up my mind for me to be there for students when they need help and teach them everything I know. I would love to teach anywhere from kindergarten through fourth grade.I went to public school's here in Mobile and I'm not a big fan of the system so I would love to teach in Baldwin County or even Mississippi. I'm currently a member of the Kappa Delta Sorority here at South, I love spending time with all of my sisters and enjoy doing all of our philanthropic events, especially the dance competitions. I have danced since I was three all the way through high school, where I was member of my high school's dance team. I tend to procrastinate way to much so time management will definitely be tested.

Dr. Pausch
I have never heard anything about Dr. Pausch before, but this video is very useful. I learned to always have a plan even though it will change and to know that it will change. I learned to also have a to do list, it makes it very helpful when you have many things due at once, and it helps to keep them in order. Always start with the biggest thing first and then it just gets easier and not harder.
