WELCOME TO MY FIRST BLOG

Hello my name is Angela and I’m thrilled to be apart of English 1101. I’ve lived in Valdosta all my life, married for 18 years and the mother of two teenagers 15 & 13 yrs old. At the age of 38, I’m considered a non- traditional student, yes I know I’m a little late in the game, but I’m so glad I’m on the team! Better late than never!
My goal is Mastering Middle Grades Education; I've worked, as a sub teacher for some years and there is a need like you wouldn’t believe. At that time 60% of the students couldn’t write a complete sentence or read at a suitable level. I got angry and concerned and wanted to make a difference in the lives of children and that’s why I’m here. I believe without a shadow of a doubt, that our children can apply themselves and fall in love with education. I know it sounds a little corny but, that’s my vision…and I know I may not conquer the whole world but Valdosta, Ga is a start. There is sunshine after the rain!
