Introduction

   

     Hello everyone! My name is Amanda Kowalski. This is my first semester at Western Michigan University, and so far I love it. I am in the second semester of my sophomore year. I am pursuing a degree to major in Family and Consumer's Science Teacher Education, with a minor in English education. Many people do not know what my degree is so I will explain it briefly. Family and Consumer's Science is basically any class that works with family, relationships, health, food, or home related topics. I plan to be a high school teacher.
     
     I am apart of a pretty large family. I am the youngest of four children. I have two brothers and a sister. My family is a huge part of my life, which is why moving into the dorms in Kalamazoo was a little bit hard to do. I only live an hour and a half away from Kalamazoo in the Jackson area. I technically live in Brooklyn. It is still a hard adjustment because I am so close with my family. I have four pets that I absolutely adore. I have three cats and a dog.

     Now that I have shared some of my background I will share some of my interests. I have a passion for animals. I love all animals. It is my dream to one day run my own animal shelter. English is my favorite core subject, which is why I chose it as my minor. I am very interested in health, nutrition, cooking, etc. and have always dreamed of becoming a teacher, which is why the Family and Consumer's degree is perfect for me. That is about all. I can't wait to experience Western more and learn more about teaching English!
