I am not an expert and am looking forward to learning more on these topics. 486 Tech Blog and Kristin's Wiki |

I have been married for just over a year and have a wonderful four-year-old stepson. I am currently a senior in Child and Family Studies with a concentration in Early Childhood Education.

I want to make a difference in the lives of young children and help them develop a strong foundation in education. I hope to teach in a public school in my home county after completing my degree. 486 Tech Blog and Jennifer's Wiki | |

| Welcome to my online portfolio. My name is Deborah Purdy, and I was born and raised in Memphis, TN. Currently, I am a senior at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I am majoring in Mathematics with a minor in Secondary Education. I will graduate with my Bachelors of Science in Mathematics in the spring of 2009, and I will begin my field experience and Master's classes in the fall 2009.

Coupling my love of math with my desire to help, I decided teaching would fit me best. I am excited for the years ahead! 486 Tech Blog and Deborah's WIki | |

Hi, my name is Jenna Stec and I am originally from New Jersey. I grew up in NJ my whole life just until last summer when my family moved to Atlanta, GA (I love the south!). I am currently a Senior majoring in Psychology minoring in Elementary Education. I have been admitted to the neighborhood schools program and will start my internship in the Knox County school district in the fall of 2009. I knew since I was 7 years old that I wanted to become an Elementary school teacher and I am so excited to start my teaching career. The first question I usually seem to get is "how did you choose UT living in New Jersey?" I had been a cheerleader my whole life and was a big part of why I wanted to come down here to Tennessee. I was suppose to cheer here but at the last minute decided I just wanted to enjoy my 4 years of college and have fun. I also loved SEC football and knew I wanted a big school in the south. The education program here at UT was probably the first and most important reason why I decided I wanted to become a Volunteer! 486 Tech Blog and Jenna's Wiki |
