Intro Letter (NETS I)

Hello! My name is Carly Perrin. I spent the first 11 years of my life in Los Angeles, California in a town called Westchester. It is right next to LAX. I went to Elementary School at Westport Heights Elementary and started middle school at Orville Wright Junior High. The summer of 6th grade my family moved to Temecula because my Dad’s job relocated to Riverside. I finished middle school at James L. Day Middle and went to high school at Chaparral High for all four years. In high school I was involved in soccer, softball, and choir. After high school I took the Jr. College route that I deeply regret. I wasted five years taking so many pointless classes and finally graduated with 4 AA’s. Now I am on my first year at Cal State San Marcos and I am finally excited to go to school! I am anxious to finish and be a teacher one day!

I am a Pc person but that is only because I have never used a Mac. If I had a Mac I would be a Mac. I love my ipod and the technology that goes with it. I depend heavily on technology everyday. I am taking 22 units this semester so I am constantly checking my email and school accounts. I use computers for everything, I love how convenient everything is, especially paying bills with online bill pay.  I don’t use Word because it didn’t come on my computer and it is not affordable, but I know how to use most versions of the software.

I like the statement that the College of Education is committed to diversity, educational equity, and social justice. Growing up in L.A., I was actually the minority at my school. I think teachers need to create learning environments that reach every student. I also think teachers need to be life-long learners. I like the whole statement!
