Blog Assignment 1

     My name is Regina Bunch. I'm a graduate of Baker High School in Mobile. I was born in New Orleans but adopted at the age of 3 months, moving me to Mobile for my childhood and teenage years. I planned to go away for college but somehow my best option turned out to be right here at home. I have a large family that is scattered between Alabama and North Carolina. 

     Ever since I was a young child I have said, "I'm going to be a teacher when I grow up." Like every kid I changed my mind a few times but always came back to teaching. There is something about the opportunity to shape someone else's life that intrigues me like nothing else. This past summer I took the test for Substitute Certification and have recently been in the class room on my own for the first time. My dad seemed hopeful that it would change my mind and make me want to go for a "money making job" but I always come home ready to go back again. 

     In my time outside of class I work part-time at Applebee's as a server and a host. I also enjoy spending time with friends. I am a member of Circle K International at South Alabama and serve as District Secretary for Alabama. This organization has allowed me the opportunity to meet college students from around the world. I love to believe that I have all the free time in the world to spend making myself happy, but in reality I think staying busy makes me happier.
