Tanya's Intro

Hey guys, my name is Tanya and my ultimate goal is to one day teach high school English. I’m currently a 5th year senior. No, I’m not a slacker, I work, in addition to classes, so I can actually afford my education. Five years is the new four years anyway. :)

In my spare time, yes, I do manage to get some here and there, I spend it outdoors, much like Dr. Dana, in jeans and hiking boots hiking the trails of the Ramapo Reserve and Harriman State Park to name a few. Whether it be hiking, kayaking, running on the beach or sitting in my backyard, I am in my element in the elements.

I recently completed reading “A Walk In The Woods” by Bill Bryson. I don’t care if you haven’t spent a second in a wooded area in your life, READ IT! Phenomenal and quite literally, laugh out loud funny. For someone who does not love to read, I had a hard time putting it down.

I *loved* that book! You'll have to tell me some of the places you hike, Tanya. I'm always looking for new places, especially where I can take my dog.

In response to my post "Memories about reading"- I am glad that you got over you shyness! (thats one thing i did not have a hard time with as a child lol) It is crazy how students can get lost in between the cracks like that. But over coming something only makes you stronger. And I in this case it will make us better teachers for our students!
