ABOUT ME

Hi, all!  My name is Angela Gray.  I'm married to a wonderful man and have a beautiful daughter.  We also have three amazing little Boston Terriers that help to make our family complete.  I grew up on a farm, but later moved to Long Beach as a teen.  While I'll always have a bit of farm girl deep down inside, I'll always think of Long Beach as my hometown. 

I have a theory that nothing warms the soul quite like some home cooking, and that's what I love to do, is cook.  However, my passion does not confine itself to the stovetop because I also love baking.  Cookies, pies, cakes, muffins, etc.  You name it, I bake it.  My truest way of showing my love to someone is to cook/bake for them. 

I'm currently a University of Southern Mississippi student studying Elementary Education with endorsements in science and social studies, and I look forward to being in the classroom and helping to shape the minds of the next generation.  I've always considered myself to be the square peg while the world is the round hole, and I hope, as a teacher, that I can guide students to understand that being that way is perfectly okay, as not everyone has to fit the mold.  However, school has never been my favorite place/thing, so I aspire to change that for the future generation and make them realize just how important and fun school can be. 

  Not only am I exceptionally excited about getting into my own classroom, but I aspire to be a principal one day as well.  I feel as though I could make a major impact on students and teachers from an authoritative/management position within the school; I've always been a natural leader and tend to do well in positions that require that trait.

  For now, I will continue on my road of education and take new strides everyday toward my professional goals.

Now, that you have read all of that, you're probably thinking, "Okay, this seems like a nice person, but why should I read her blog?" Here is your answer:  as I continue to further my education and learn how to best integrate technology into my future classroom, I intend to share all of my newly acquired knowledge with all of my readers, so you, too, can appreciate the importance of technology in education.
