Meridith Meerman, I would love to teach kindergarten/ first grade, I am a student at Florida Gulf Coast University and am set to graduate Spring 2014!
A little bit more about me:
My name is Meridith Meerman and I am currently in blocks 2,3,and 4, for elementary education. I have lived all of the United States, from Ohio, Kansas, Alabama, North Carolina, and now Florida. I have had my fair share of different schools, being in seven before I was in high school. I have also attended Monissori schools for a number of years. This has given me a different perspective on learning and a new approach to some subject areas. With this experience it was diversifying me, by meeting all types of new people, and being able to adjust into new environments more easily. This has helped me in the education system by being able to look at different situations in more than one way. I have been working since I was 14years old, mainly in the restaurant business, thus improving my people skills. I started out my college journey at the University of South Florida as biology major. Then transferred to The State College of Florida after blowing out my knee and losing a basketball scholarship. Luckily I had academics to fall back on and then transferred to Florida Gulf Coast University. It was at FGCU that I realized I wanted to work with young children and became an education major.

After finishing just block one I had my first child, Faith
Annette-taking off a semester. However I have just started back up this fall, and
it feels great to back in the swing of things! I live in Port Charlotte,
Florida with my fiancé, daughter, our two dogs and my wonderful horse. Live can
get busy and crazy sometimes, but I always follow through and keep my head up.
My fiancé works for Comcast 40+ hours a week having Mondays and Tuesdays off,
which in turn I have school on those days. Completing homework assignments
usually come late at night once everyone is asleep. I myself stopped working
after my daughter was born and am now a full time mom and student. Some hobbies
I enjoy are scuba diving, horseback riding, playing basketball, and going on
picnics. These are all things in which are tranquil and something I do for me
in my free time. I find it important to not get caught up in the hustle of
everyday life, and to make sure you always do things for yourself that make you
happy.
