When I began this class, I was practically a dummy when it came to using a computer

In College , I took an elementary education degree, but all we had back then were

typewriters.

And for almost the last decade, I’ve taken a career that had mostly to do with cosmetics and fragrances – as a supervisor for a high-end brand

About a year ago, I decided to shift

back to classroom

teaching.

My youngest, Gwindaleen, is in kindergarten. My second child, George, is in sixth grade and my oldest, Thomas Jon, is in sophomore in high school. I want them to have a better learning environment at home. I also wanted a career beyond cosmetics.

This decision led me to taking this class.

At first, I had a hard time because I had no formal computer training before .

During the first day of class, I cried out of frustration that I knew almost nothing about computers. There were countless nights I thought of dropping the class. But I did not want to give up.

I turned my frustration into a challenge. I spent countless hours staying way past midnight, and at times until morning, getting myself familiar with the computer.

After a while,I’ve gainedconfidence in mycomputer use.

These days, while I am not an expert in using computer technology for the classroom, I can also humbly say that I have learned a lot.

When I finally become ready for classroom teaching, I can teach and prepare lesson plans that will use technology to enhance students’ learning.

This class has made me want to learn more advanced computer lessons to help me be more prepared to be a Guam school teacher.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you my teacher and classmates for allowing me to be part of this class.

And to some of you who showed concern and support, I will not forget your kindness.
