My first post!

Hi everyone! My name's Mary and I'm a sophomore/junior at Salem State. This is the third time I've switched my major but I feel really confident as an Elementary Education major. My second major is History, I've always had a passion for History. The reason I chose a major of Education is because of my niece.

Her name is Sophia and she has taught me so much about myself in the two short years that she's been alive. I've been present a majority of the time, with visiting her and babysitting her. I helped her take her first steps. I also taught her how to say "auntie" and "water". I realized then when I taught her these things, it made me so happy. I chose to take the career path of teaching because I want to help other children learn things so they can feel as excited as my niece was when she learned how to walk and I can have a sense of accomplishment. 

Anyways, this is my blog for my EDU 100 course, and I'm very excited to start blogging!
