Hello,
my
name is Alena
Milton. I am currently a junior attending Valdosta State
University. I am majoring in Early Childhood Education with hopes
of becoming a 3rd grade teacher. I graduated from Thomas
County Central High School in 2004,
with plans to attend Albany State
University.
Althouh I did
attend for a while, destiny would take me
on a whole new journey, which would ultimately lead me to Valdosta
State.The
atmosphere of my high
school was for the most part calm and collect. At times things
got a little hectic, but thats normal when dealing with high school
students. I participated in the National Honors Society while in
high school. The biggest part of this club was the volunteer work
that we had to do in order to get hours. I pray that the rest of my
college experience is a good one, and that everything will turn out the
way it is supposed to turn out.
My
childhood was that of a typical African American female growing up in
south Georgia. I used to love playing with my Barbie
dolls. I would spend endless hours dressing them up and making
them act out different things. Some of the greatest experiences
or times that I
can recall would be those spent at church. I have attended church
for as long as I can remember. I have been fortunate to attend
some very spirit-filled churches, but I will have to say that Disciples
of Jesus Ministries, has been my favorite. I feel at peace
when I
am at church. I know a lot of people have had bad experiences
when dealing with religion, but I try not to get to caught up in the
"politics" of it. I know the reason I am there, and its not to
please anyone but God.
My
idea of a good time would be being
curled up in front of the tv. I am not the type who likes to go
out and party. Big scenes are not my thing. I do like to go
to the movies
with that special someone or my friends. I used to be a
big reader, but that has not been the case lately. I like to
shop, but most of the time when I have the money, there is nothing
there. One of my favorite places to shop would be Wal-Mart, because you can find
everything you need there. I am not very adventurous, I try to
stay as safe as possible.
I like to be surrounded by people who have my best interest at
heart. I don't have time for negative energy, because that's just
a waste of my time.
