* About Me * 



//**About me: **//I am 24 years old and the sister to an older brother. I am from South Point, Ohio where I attended elementary, middle, and high school. I recently got engaged on Valentines day, therefore wedding planning is always on my mind. As an educator we always wonder what our students will "call," us. Being engaged to someone with the last name Boukhemis I can only hope that students will resign to calling me Mrs. B :) instead of the million pronunciations that I always hear. I am passionate about special education and the students that special education encompasses. Not only is special education "special," but it is also a creative approach to teaching that I truly enjoy. Now for my social life outside of school/education/teaching topics. I enjoy reading, cooking, working out, working on my mile time, relaxing, and spending time with my family and friends. I have two very dear friends and one just found out she is pregnant! I also have 3 dogs, Meelah (golden retriever) King, ( chocolate lab) and my princess, Roxy (Shih Tzu). I love my dogs along with all animals and I find myself to be an animal advocate. I am a memeber of PETA, but cannot fully claim membership because I still have a long way to go on adopting a vegetarian diet. I have been at Marshall for 6 years. I was a cheerleader for 4 years while I was obtaining my undergraduate degree, so being busy and having time for well... barely anything, is not new to me. I obtained my bachelors degree in elementary education along with special education ( K-ADULT). I hope to graduate in May 2012 with a master's degree in multi-categorical special education and autism. I am also a graduate assistante at the University college, along with being a remedial tutor at the H.E.L.P. center. I am constantly on the go with work and school, but I am confident that in the end all the hard work will pay off ! I hope to find a teaching job after I graduate. My dream job would be in a moderatly impaired self-contained classroom with upper elementary or middle school students. Along with being the passionate about education and special education I hope to encompass the attitude, creativity, and love for my students that Esme Raji Codell did in one of my favorite books, __EDUCATING ESME.__
