Hi all! My name is Nell White (though the class list will say Nell Blank...I haven't changed my name with the school since I got married...you'd think I would have, it was three years ago...oh well) and I am a math major. This is my 3.5th year here at Montclair, I transferred from Bergen Community College, from where I graduated with an A.S. in Math. This is my last year at Montclair, assuming all goes as planned. I am doing my 60 hours this semester in Cedar Grove, and I'm looking forward to the classroom experience from the other end of the classroom.
I have always enjoyed teaching, but because I hated school, I did not consider it as a profession until I got to college and started enjoying my classes. I also know that there is a major need for math teachers right now, and I want to do something about that. The teaching schedule is also nice...I like the idea that my hours will be closer to those of my children: I have two kids; my older son will be 6 on Saturday, and I have a six-month-old baby boy as well.
In my oh so copious free time, I enjoy theatre (all aspects...acting, singing, costuming...it's all good), crafting (again, all aspects...the list goes on), and mostly just being with my family.
Reading...oh, to have the time to do that... I actually really enjoy reading, but with the baby, it's a difficult activity. He goes after anything I'm holding, so no books, newspapers, or magazines, and he bangs on the keyboard, so my computer time is limited to necessities. I somehow managed to fit in the last Harry Potter book...I'm not sure how I did that, but at least I can watch movies without holding anything my son can chew on! So, for a while at least, it's basically just movies for me. I'll be glad to have an excuse to hand the baby to my husband so I can read for this class; since it will be for school, he can't say no. ;)
