All About Me
My name is Georgia Baker and I was born in Mobile, Alabama. When I was six years old my family and I moved to Denver, Colorado. We resided in Denver until I was eighteen years old. Once, I turned eighteen I moved to Quincy, Illinois for approximately one year. After a year in Quincy I moved back to Mobile to join my family and I have been here ever since. My family and I love to travel, therefore we moved around a lot when I was younger.

As a young girl my dream was to become a psychologist but, once I moved back to Mobile my plans changed. I began to fall in love with teaching. I started my education to become a teacher at Bishop State Community College. I stayed at Bishop State until one of my teachers stated that I should try out University of Mobile, so I did. I graduated from the University of Mobile with my Associates degree and then transferred to South. I am now at South for my first semester and I really miss University of Mobile, but I know things will get better.

I have been teaching for the Office of School Readiness Pre-k program in private facility for the past five years and I enjoy every minute of it. I hope to graduate in the next year with my B.S. in Elementary education, so that I am able to spend more time doing the other things that I truly love. Once I graduate I want to take my teaching skills pass a private facility and into a public school setting.

Randy Pausch Video
Randy Pausch has some very great points about goals. By watching the video I noticed that I don't have to complete every goals if it's not something that will make life easy. I could also ask my self why am I doing this and will it be successful for me. I have always looked at goals as a must do and not a can do. Randy Pausch has opened my eyes to a new way of thinking.
