I am currently a senior at SUNY Cortland, majoring in Childhood Education with a concentration in environmental studies.  On campus I work as an library assistant in the periodical/media department. My family is a big part of my life. I am one of seven children and am the middle child. I have four brothers and two sisters. Growing up with all of my siblings is one of the reasons in which I want to become a teacher. Also, my older sister is a first grade teacher and is one of the greatest role modle to look up to.
