My first blog

Hello everybody and welcome to my blog!
 

      My name is Araceli Rivera and my major is Liberal Studies. I have heard so many wonderful and successful stories about Brandman University and feel so lucky to be able to finish my education here. In the year 2014 I experienced taking one course here at Brandman, but was unable to continue at that time, but now I am back and here to finish! It has always been my dream to become an elementary school teacher and I am so happy to know that I am very close to accomplishing my goals and will have the career I've always dreamed of.

      As I mentioned before, I am perusing my career as an elementary school teacher. Even though I've always known that I wanted to be an elementary teacher I haven't always been so informed on the steps to becoming one. I would like to do research on becoming an elementary school teacher. I know of course I need a bachelors degree and teaching credentials, but what happens after I have graduated and earned my teaching credentials? I am looking forward to doing research on my career to be more aware and not only that, but I am also looking forward to improve on my fluency and literacy. Even though I know how to use a computer and explore the Internet, I worry about whether the websites that I visit are legit. I would also like to improve on citing sources because sometimes I don't know where to find the information that is needed to cite located at.

  1. Araceli,

    I am so happy that you have decided to continue with your education. I understand that things can get rough sometimes and because of that we have to put things off but what matters is finishing what we started. When it comes to researching I too believe that the websites that we choose to use are the most important part of the process of our research. I also often wonder about the websites that I use and if they are credible. What exactly would you like to research about your career?

  2. Hello Araceli!

    Same as the comment above, I respect a person that continues to pursue their education no matter the obstacles! Becoming an elementary teacher is an awesome path because you will be part of children's most crucial developmental years.
    I too have the same worries regarding legitimacy on the world wide web. I know its so easy to use social networks and purchase cute shoes online, but ask me to research something regarding to educational or professional subjects and I will freeze up. I'm hoping this course will familiarize us all with research strategies we can use in pursuing our education as well as in our professional setting. Are you interested in researching more on the developmental years of the age groups you will be working with?
