Blog Assignment 1

This is Me!
                Hello everyone!  My name is Amelia Bumpers.  I am 19 years old and I am a junior majoring in Elementary Education.  I have always loved dealing with kids.  I graduated from Leroy High School in May 2010.  I went to Faulkner State Community College in Bay Minette for a year before transferring to South Alabama.  Go Jags!!
                In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, whether it is watching a movie at the house, spending a day in Mobile, or going to a sporting event.  I am extremely close to both of my parents and little sister.  I absolutely love Leroy football (current 2A State Champs) and baseball (current 2A runner up).  I also enjoy watching Auburn football and I plan to get involved with South Alabama football. 
                I love to dance.  I have taken dance classes since I was 4 years old.  I was on the dance line at Leroy my junior and senior years, as well as Faulkner’s dance team for a semester.  If there is no other way for me to express my emotions, I know I can do it through dance.  Dancing is a wonderful stress reliever.  I am very active in church.  I recently joined Leroy First Baptist Church.  I sing in the choir on Sunday mornings. 




Randy Pausch
I learned a number of things from watching Randy Pausch's video on time management.  He pointed out that it is good to think about your to-do list every day.  And not only should you have a to-do list for the day, but also for the week and semester/month, whichever best fits your personal lifestyle.  Also, if you are a procrastinator, it would probably help to start out with the largest and most difficult task and work your way down to the smallest task.
