 __Introduction__
Hello! My name is Amy Beckman. I am 22 years old and couldn't imagine doing anything but teaching. At 4 years old, I wanted to be a cat when I grew up. When I figured out that this was not a realistic goal, I changed my mind and wanted to be a librarian instead. However, as soon as I was introduced to the Dewey Decimal system, I decided that teaching was a far better choice. This very mature and logical decision has held for 15 years and is probably the only decision that I have ever made that I did not have to think twice about. I have always enjoyed helping other people and I can't think of a better way to do it. :) =__ Education __=    This will be my 4th and last year as an undergraduate at EWU. I am an English major and a Spanish minor in the Secondary Education program.    =__ Goals __=  I would LOVE to have a classroom of my own by this time next year. I plan to teach both English and Spanish at the secondary level. No plans yet as to where I would like to teach. I'm open to just about anywhere. =__ Family __=  I am the oldest of 3 children by 15 years. My brothers are 5 and 7 years old and absolutely adorable. Having the opportunity of becoming a new sister at 15 gives me a unique insight into what it's like to be an only child as well as being a sibling, and what it takes to raise children. (I am never dealing with cloth diapers again!) I love my family and wouldn't trade them for the world. =__ Hobbies __=  I am an old lady at heart. :) I love to knit and quilt and I could sit in a rocking chair doing either all day if I had the time. I also love to run, read, watch movies, scrapbook, and travel.
