At Eastern I received my bachelors degree in Sociology and Criminal Justice. Needless to say, I could not get a job in this area. During the summer of 1996, I decided to go work for the Foundation for the Junior Blind in Los Angeles. They have a camp in Malibu, CA named Camp Bloomfield. http://www.reachout.org/losangeles/disabled/dis06.htm

This was the summer my life changed. I realized that I wanted to work with children and I fell in love with California.

I also left the country for the first time and headed to Rosarito Beach, Mexico. It was great, I loved Mexico!

I was also able to go with some of the kids from Foundation for the Junior Blind on a river-rafting trip. We rafted down the Kern River in California. We spent four days on the river and had a fabulous time.

When I came back from California, I began to teach Preschool in New London, CT. After a few months with the kids, I knew I wanted to teach. So I came back to Eastern Connecticut State University. . http://www.easternct.edu/depts/edu/grad/bulletin.html
I am now working on my masters and CT State certification. http://www.teachingandlearning.org/licnsure/praxis/
So what is to become of me now??? I really do not know where I will be heading in the future, but I would really like to go back to California. I would like to look into living in San Francisco, Los Angeles, or any coastal town that is warmer than here! http://www.thetrip.com/content/city/citytopics/0,1337,1-4-SFO_1,00.html
