ED 3508 Day 1

Day 4 of PS1 complete and assignment #1 in progress (all assignments must be passed by Oct 30/09).  

So far being back at school after my 13 year layoff has not been too bad.  Yes it has been 13 years since I was last in school and received my Phys. Ed. degree from the University of Calgary.  If you would have asked me back then if I would ever go back to school I am sure I would have given you a resounding NO WAY, but as I have learned life has a way of changing courses and taking us to new destinations.  

My name is Patricia but most people call me Patty.  I am blessed to say that I have been married for 12 years (to the same man I might add), I am a mother of three beautiful children and when the wind isn't blowing I live in probably the most beautiful place on earth.  Before deciding to join the Education Profession I sampled a variety of career options including daycare worker, accounting tech., fitness center owner, personal trainer and of course stay at home mom.  I am hopeful that the life and career experience I have gained will be of great benefit to me as a teacher.  I admit now that I was extremely nervous about coming back to school, worried about how I was going to balance school life with a family and how I would fair as the "mature" student.  I am happy to report that as of day 4 in the Faculty I feel very much at home.  I am excited for all that is to come in PS1.
