Island Of Education

Me & My husband Chuck at Panama City Beach ~ 2008
My name is Ellita Blackburn,
and I would like to tell you a little more about myself. I am
thirty years old and recently widowed. My husband of nine years
was
killed in an accident in November of 2008. I am currently a
Junior at Valdosta State University.
My major is Early
Childhood Education. My plans are to graduate
from VSU in December 2010 and begin teaching children in the Cook
County area. I am originally from Marietta, Georgia, but moved to
south Georgia when I was twelve years old. I enjoy living in the
south and look forward to teaching in the same community that I was
raised in. I love working with children and am very excited when
I think about my future in Early Childhood Education. Continuing
my education was a big
step in my life at my age, but I believe that the sacrifices that I
have made will be worth it in the near future!
Information
Table
In my spare time I love to travel! My favorite places to visit is
the mountains and the beach. A few places I have been are, Helen, GA, St.
Augustine, FL, and Gatlinburg, TN.
I also enjoy shopping, making jewelry, and
spending time with my friends. I don't get a lot of spare time,
so
when I do I take advantage of it and try to live life to the
fullest! My friends mean the world to me and have really proven
themselves to be true. For that I am so grateful!
Photography is a very big part of my life! I have always enjoyed
taking pictures of friends, family and nature. I recently moved
and have been remodeling for quite some time, so I am enjoying taking
my time and decorating my home one room at a time.
Student Resources
Since I have chosen education
as my career, I have already started looking for websites that may help
me once I enter my classroom. My favorite website is Teacher's Paradise.
They have many great deals on creative ideas that is sure to help any
teacher searching for a bargain! A website I feel will be useful
when searching for a neat idea for a field trip for the students is Love that teaching idea.
