Hi Everyone! I am from Palos Verdes Estates which is located outside of Los Angeles. I am a triplet and the only girl. We also have an older brother who is two years older. I attended Silver Spur Elementary School (which my mom taught at so at one time there were five of us at one school). I attended Malaga Cove Intermediate School, and graduated from Palos Verdes Peninsula High School in 1996.
I use technology in my everyday life. Some devices that I use are my cellphone, laptop, ipod, and navigation system in my car. I depend on them to help make my everyday life easier. I am a PC user but I have to admit the MAC is growing on me. I really enjoy learning about technology and I'm the tech in our household.
The College of Education Mission Statement did not influence my decision to attend this university. But, I think it is extremely important and I absolutely agree with it. If we are to be in a position of educating children we need to be caring, thoughtful, and fair. Let's face it, in today's society we have a melting pot of cultures and more children with disabilities. It is our job to treat each one with respect and to make sure that they can be productive and educated members of society. Anyone that can not commit to every issue stated should pick a different profession.

Hi Alison(with two L's). When I was reading your blog, in particular the last paragraph, I was in agreement with your statement regarding how important it is as teachers to be fair to all children. We really do have the power to transform education and if we are committed to our kids from all diverse backgrounds, we can really do it!
Hi Ali,
you know I was just thinking...If you are Allison(with 2 L's, why are you ALI with one L???)anyways...your mom must have been supermom with all of you in one school. I also agree with what you wrote about why to become a teacher. It is important to be caring and fair. I believe that a key component is to be able to tap in to where our kids come from and to be sensitive to that. You are right that, especially in California, the melting pot phenom will touch every teacher in every classroom and I think addressing that is half the battle.
