The Blog About Me

The Blog About Me

Hi, I’m Paige O’Callaghan Jones and I love learning. It’s true! I’ve always loved school and have always known that I’ve wanted to be a teacher. I am a sophomore here at Chico State with a major in Liberal Studies and a minor in Special Education. I have one teacher in my family, my aunt. She’s taught in private primary schools, middle school English courses and after sometime as a principal a private school in California, recently moved and became a principal in a private school in Portland, Oregon.

What it means to be a teacher is someone who always has a book in their hand, who’s reading it for pleasure and for academic reasons. Outside of school, I read pop culture magazines, both paper copies and online. Something I took away from reading the article was that choice is very important when it comes to reading. Choice keeps students engaged and usually driven by passion.

  1. Hi, Paige! I can see why we were paired! If you’re planning to stay in Chico over the summer, I can totally get you a job at CARD as a lifeguard! We’d love to have you! Don’t you just love Emma Wilson? I’m so excited to be volunteering there this semester for my EDTE 255 class as well as working there as an after school leader. I think it’s so great that we have these experiences in common– it really gives me something to go on when I’m responding to your posts. I look forward to working with you this semester so that we both may grow as readers and writers!

    P.S.
    Since you asked, wedding details are TBA. We both want to save up some dough before we get too crazy with the wedding planning. Cheers!
