Blog Post 1: A little about me

As you can see from the title my name is Christina. I am 20 years old and my birthday is April 18. This is my third year at University of South Alabama. Before that I was at Greene County High School and was duel enrolled at Jones County Junior College because I completed high school early. I claim to be from Leakesville, Mississippi although I have lived in both Mobile and Leakesville throughout my life. I am currently enrolled as a double major (Secondary Education/English). I love the field I chose. I have always wanted to teach and wanted to teach high school drama most. I have a passion for creative outlets that come through writing and theatre,and I was inspired to teach my passion to others by two teachers that particularly influenced me. My first declared major was Theatre, but I wanted more training in the field of education and decided to change. I hope to be teaching drama or creative writing after I leave South Alabama.
On a more personal note, I live at the grove with one roommate named Koen. We met our freshman year at South and this is our second year rooming together. I have been dating my boyfriend Ryan for three years now and he is like family to me. I have one sister Sam, one brother Briggs, one stepsister Summer, and one stepbrother Colton. I have two "sister-in-laws," Morgan and Lauren. I spend much of my time with my boyfriend. We enjoy hunting, riding four wheelers, going out to dinner, watching movies, and most of all just spending time together.
Right now I'm working 3 part-time jobs and going to school full time. I enjoy all three of my jobs, but I enjoy my job where I sell life and health insurance. I love helping people make sure they are insured for all possible emergencies or situations. At my other job I work as the supervisor to the marketing team, which doesn't require me to be there very often. My third job is just 1 hour ever other week cleaning an office for a little quick cash.
I'm sure I could say much more but it is best I stop while I am ahead.

  1. Wow, it is so admirable that you work three jobs while attending college courses. I wish I had your energy. Have you attended a drama production here at USA?
