Hey! My name is
Rebecca Owens. I was born in Amarillo,
Texas, but moved to Plainview, Texas when I was three. I am the daughter of Caryl Owens and the late
Michael Owens. I have an older brother
named Adam, who recently celebrated his one year anniversary with his wife,
Hailey. I attended Plainview High
School, and graduated as Salutatorian in May of 2012. I played the French Horn during high school,
was very active in Student Council, and was a strong leader in my youth group
at First Baptist Church. I am a Freshman at Tech, and I am majoring in
Mathematics. I plan on becoming a high
school math teacher. My goal in life is
to encourage students to enjoy math, or at least not hate it. I love hanging out with my friends in my
spare time. I recently got a job working
at United Supermarkets in the Deli. My
favorite color is turquoise, and I am addicted to The Big Bang Theory.
I love The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon is hilarious. It's really cool that you want to make students enjoy math. I look forward to working with you this semester!
ReplyDeleteI love The Big Bang Theory as well. I find myself sitting by myself and laughing, most of the time way too loud, at the TV screen. So, it's probably a good thing nobody is around. I also want to be a teacher so I'm really excited we are in the same group. I want to be a Kindergarten teacher so we are on too different ends grade-wise but I can't wait to work with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited that you are a math major and want to be a math teacher! I also graduated salutatorian and I was born in Amarillo. I was in band and enjoyed my youth group at church. I feel like we have a lot in common haha! Do you hope to get a teaching job in Plainview when you're done here or go somewhere far away from Plainview? I look forward to working with you and getting to know you this semester!
ReplyDeleteWe really do have a lot in common! I would rather not teach in Plainview. It would feel awkward being in a position of authority around the teachers who taught me. I hope to find a job in the Lubbock area, but it really just depends on the job situation.
