Little about my self, I'm a mother to four girls. Alexis who is 14 yrs old and loves laying volleyball for school, twins Annabelle and Isabella who are 6 yrs old who are total opposite Annie who is girly and wants to be a princesses and Izzy who is so kind heart and a daddy's girl and then their is Nataley who is wild but silly as will as brighten my family. Home is where my four girls are laughing and being kids out side of South Salem in the country side surrounded in trees and the sun shines bought, that is where home is, with my kids and husband. I'm a stay at mom for the last three months and have enjoyed every moment as I get to take my kids to bus in this crisp air during the winter and I am able to enjoy my time drinking coffee and just do school work or catch up with family or friends. I am going to school full time and have for last three years and the goal is to get into the AAOT program to become a hygienist. I took writing 122 last term and struggled but utilized writer center online which is amazing. This class seems a little same but with lots more discussion and assignments due early which isn't my favorite since I don't do my assignments until afternoon, but I will learn to manage my time differently.
