Hi! I’m
Cassidy, an almost 21 year-old mother, student, homemaker, and waitress. My
fiancé and I have a one-year-old baby boy named Charlie and we all recently
moved into our first home. I spend most of my time focusing on my family and
our life in our new home. I also work at my family’s restaurant two days per
week. The rest of my time is devoted to studying and homework. Welcome to my
blog!
This is
only my second session with Brandman as a Liberal Studies major. I am working
towards my teaching credential. I want to become an elementary school teacher
and, ideally, I’d love to teach fourth grade. I would love to teach in my
hometown, a small town about 15 minutes from the ocean, on the California Central Coast.
A
specific aspect of my career path that I would like to research further is
school budgets and their allocations. From my current understandings, I know
that many school districts do not allocate their money in the ways that they
should. Many teachers buy necessary supplies out of their own pockets and I
want to research why this is the case.
Considering
the lecture and readings, the areas of information fluency and literacy that
I’d like to focus on are recognizing valuable/credible sources when researching
online and using these sources in the appropriate manner. I know that many
sources in databases are credible, and I typically do not have a problem
recognizing them. However, websites can be created by anyone and I would like
to be able to better assess the credibility of online sources.
Again, welcome to my blog. :)
Hello Cassidy! That's awesome that you live that close to the ocean. I am originally from California, but moved to Kansas for school. I miss the beach so much! I also work at a restaurant! Isn't it fun? ;) I think that is a great research topic. I'll definitely stay updated with your blog because I would love to know why schools budgets are not allocated correctly as well. Have a great night! Nice 'meeting' you.
