Introduction Blog #1

Hello fellow classmates,

My name is Crystal Sumrall and I am a Junior, majoring in Elementary Education. I would love to teach 2ND grade once I graduate. I am a 31 yr. old, single mother of 4 beautiful children. Their ages are 8,6,2,and 1. Currently, I am employed with the Mobile County Public School System, working full time as a paraprofessional with the Special Ed. Department at Anna F. Booth Elementary School in Irvington, Al. This is my second school year working with them.

I have traveled the world, thanks to my father being in the military. I have lived in Texas, Korea, Germany, Virgingia, and Mobile. And even though I was born here in Mobile, Alabama, I claim Virginia as my home. I attended Thomas Dale High School, located in Chester, VA, where I took part in many clubs, and organizations. For example, I was in the FBLA and Drama Clubs just to name a few. I was also a starter on the Varsity basketball team all 4 years until I graduated in 1995.

There are many things that I enjoy doing, but I mostly like watching movies, listening to music and doing things with my kids. My favorite color is blue and my favorie food is Alaskan king crab legs. I also enjoy watching football and basketball. Basically, I like to laugh, have fun, and enjoy life.

I hope this helps you all know a little more about me, and I can't wait to learn more about each and every one of you. I hope we all will have more knowledge about this course once we finish the semester. So good luck and have a good Spring Semester.
