Hello All,

My name is Jessica Zarate.  I am a Liberal Studies Major here at CSUCI. I am a single mother of 3 beautiful children. I work part time for the Rio School District and plan to earn my Bachelor’s degree by the Spring of 2017. I plan to enter the teaching credentials program and become a teacher. I know the the road for me currently is tough, and it is quite difficult juggling and balancing school, work, and my children on my own. My parents are by greatest supporters and I am not sure where I would be without their love and encouragement. I hope to walk away from this class with a better jessica and rosieunderstanding of beneficial and safe ways to incorporate media into the lives of children. I look forward to reading other posts and getting to know my professor and other classmates in this summer session.

Hi my name is Taylor Wing.

Hello fellow group members,

My name is Taylor. I am a senior at CSUCI working towards my BA in Liberal Studies. I am reaching my goals of becoming an elementary school teacher.  I have never taken an online class. I would say I am a bit nervous, but excited to take this class. I am not the best with technology, but I will do my best. I tend think of my life one day at a time.  I currently work full time to support myself completely and  for the fall semester I am a full time student again. Through my busy schedule I try to make school a priority, but that can be tough.  I have a dog named Sammy that I rescued and an amazing family that keeps me motivated.

Hello my name is Kristi Dollison and I am a “super senior” at Channel Islands.  Although I already walked the graduation line last weekend, I still have one more class to take outside of my ECS major… so here I am.

I am incredibly nervous about taking an online course since I have always prefered and learned better by physically being in class, but I was lucky to obtain a full-time job with benefits utilizing my degree  already, so I didn’t really have a choice of classes to take since rent doesn’t pay itself.  I am hoping to become comfortable with this online course as soon as possible, so bare with me if this post is completely messed up or posted in the wrong area!

As a typical Ventura County girl, I am very excited for summer and to start my career.  Since I started working towards my Bachelor’s two years ago, I haven’t had a day off from juggling classes, student teaching and a weekend job to keep food on the table.  But now that I have landed a good job with weekends off, I cannot wait to make-up all the time with my loved ones that I feel was lost these past several years… I just gotta make it through one last class!!!!!!!
