Oops, I forgot a title :)

Oops, I forgot a title :)

Hey guys! I’m Cora and this is my fourth year at Chico State.  I will not be graduating this year, taking a victory lap, but that’s okay because I am so not ready to leave this wonderful town I now call home.  My major is liberal studies and I’ve known for a very long time that I wanted to be a teacher.  For one reason, I love working with kids.  I love their imagination, their youthfulness, and their bitter honesty.  I also want to make a difference.  I know we all have those teachers who inspired us to be better people/students and I would love to be that for someone else, even if it is just one.  As I mentioned on the first day of class, I love the spark in the students eyes when something finally clicks.  And it is so rewarding to walk into the classroom every day and have them excited to see you and ready to learn.

I agree with Williams as what it means to be a reader.  It’s actually comprehending what the author is trying to portray and being able to read between the lines when necessary.  I love reading any kind of books!  I am open to any suggestions for fun reads outside of school.  Unfortunately, I don’t have much time to read for fun because there is so much reading that needs to be done for school.  I think my outside of school reading connects with my school reading in the sense that it broadens my vocabulary and also helps with me reading faster, which is very helpful when you’re on a time crunch!  I enjoyed the Williams article because it put what I had always felt about being a reader into words.

I’m really looking forward to this class and reading more fun and interesting pieces of literature :)

  1. What an amazing goal! I think the world needs more teachers with the drive you are showing now. I had only a few teachers like that growing up, and without them, I definitely wouldn’t be here now.
    It is a shame that you can’t find the time to read. I feel that reading in all forms is the way to ultimately learn about the world around you; reading helps you connect with people and places that you may never have met before. Reading helps one understand the mind and thought process of another human, and in that way understand them as people. Keep reading!
