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.
Don't be nervous. Just keep up with the work, take advantage of the lab, unleash your creativity, ask lots of questions, explore the world, and have fun.
ReplyDeleteI am also from Theodore, class of 2007! It seems like you have a nice familyat home and a great family supporting you with your education. I have also always wanted to become a teacher, I am also secondary education. Im not so sure I am cut out for elementary teaching, maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy working out. I have taken several zumba classes at dreamland along with everyday bootcamp with bodies by cindy. Which gym do you teach at? Sculpting classes are something that I have not yet done, although I would love to. I hope wish you the best of luck this semester! I also am a bit nervous about this class but it seems manageable! Good luck!

Dr. Strange,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your encouraging words and I have been taking full advantage of the lab and will continue to do so.
Thanks.
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI am class of 2004, but you may know a couple of my sisters: April Whitney, Jessica Whitney, and Stephanie Cordelle?? Well I teach a cardio sculpting class at Next Generation Dance Center every Saturday morning at 7:30 and I also teach Zumba there too. I teach at Turning Pointe Dance Academy, which is across from Dreamland, and at the YMCA in Saraland. I do have a huge support system at home and I'm not sure I could do this without them. Thanks and good luck to you also!
