My
name is Porsche
Frierson. I was born in Camp Pendleton, CA and was raised in
Albany, GA. I am currently working on my teacher
certificate in Early Childhood Education at Valdosta State
University in the Early
Childhood and Special Education Department. I earned my
Bachelor's degree in Political Science
from Albany State
University. I also have a Master's degree in Public
Administration from Valdosta
State University. While working in retail
for three and a half years, I discovered my true passion--
teaching.
Helping children to become effective future leaders is my mission.

My favorite hobby is
shopping.
When they coined the phrase "shop till you drop", you would think they
were talking about me. I have been on different group shopping
trips to several malls around the state of Georgia and
Florida. When I lived in Houston, Texas, my favorite mall to
visit was The
Galleria. That mall is so big that it even has an
ice-skating rink in it. I wanted to try it, but I was a little
scared.

I have visited many
places over the
years. Some of my favorites are shown above--I visited Hoover Dam,
located on the Arizona-Nevada borders. It was an awesome
experience, especially when we toured the turbine rooms to see how the
water moved through the dam. The trip to the Dam from Las Vegas
provided desert landscapes I had never seen before. It is amazing
how they get green grass to grow in such an arid climate. The
next photo is the "Maids of Mist" boat on Niagara Falls in
Canada. We went out onto the Falls to get an up-close look.
We were provided rain coats to help keep us dry during this tour--sadly
to say, they were not too effective. When we returned, we were
very wet. At any time, you could see gorgeous rainbows. The last photo
is of El Yunque Rain Forest,
Puerto
Rico. True to its name, it rained the whole time we were touring
the forest. We saw some exotic birds, flowers, and lush green
ferns. The temperature was cool and pleasant; however, the sun
barely penetrated the thickness of the forest.
I chose two educational
sites for teachers. The first one is Georgia Gifted
Web Pages. This site helps teachers to make general
accommodations for gifted students in the regular classroom. This
site also helps guide them when doing lesson plans. The last site
is Gamequarium. This
site has different online reading activities that teachers can have
students complete. Students will learn even though they will be
playing different games.
