Blog Assignment 1

My name is Tabitha Sexton and I am from Theodore, Ala.  I got married in April 2009 and moved to Semmes, Ala with my husband.  I have a seven year old step-daughter, which we have full custody of.  I also have two sisters, three step-sisters, and one half brother. I am very close to my mom and I adore my step-dad.  I came to the Universtiy of South Alabama the fall after I graduated high school in 2004, but I played around and did not take my education seriously. I think I changed my major like ten times, so in the spring of 2006 I dropped out and did some serious soul searching to figure out what I wanted in my life. 
I always wanted to be a teacher, but when my step-daughter started school I knew it was exactly what I wanted to do.  So I registered to be a substitute teacher with the Mobile County Public School System and found out really fast that I wanted to go into Secondary Education.  So after a couple of weeks of consideration and knowing that this is what I really wanted to do, I came back to South in the spring semester of 2010.  I have also recently gotten into teaching at the gym.  I am a certified Zumba instructor and I also teach cardio bootcamp and scuplting classes.  I am really nervous about this class, but I hope that if I keep my focus everything will be fine.
