WELCOME!

     Hi! First and foremost, thank you for a taking a moment to visit my blog. The purpose of my blog is to showcase my real life experiences regarding everything I encounter while on this wild ride commonly known as college. As a high school senior, one of the most daunting questions that weighs on everyone's mind is what college will really be like. If you're like me, then all you really have to go on is what you've seen in movies and / or what your teachers have told you. In my case, they tried frightening us into believing that high school was truly a great experience in comparison to what we had awaiting us. It is my hope that this blog will be used primarily by high school students who are about to embark on their college journey. Of course, it doesn't matter what age you are or what stage of life you are currently in, this blog can still be used as a source of entertainment.


     My name is Peyton Harris and I am a sophomore English major at Henderson State University. That statement is one that you will use over and over again throughout your four (or more) years at a university. Whether you're meeting your soon to be best friend or introducing yourself to your advisor, those three pieces of information (name, rank, and major) will be a vital part of your identification. Aside from that, I am the only girl as well as the middle child in my family. I have two brothers and very loving parents. I am from Camden, Arkansas where I attended Harmony Grove Public School. While in school I was very active in the FFA program. My family bred and raised show pigs for 12 years. This hobby was one that my family really enjoyed because it was something that all five of us could partake in. In addition to this, I was a varsity and competition cheerleader, and I graduated Valedictorian of my class. I also love to read and write.

   


   

      Even though I am majoring in English at HSU, I am also pursuing my teaching license so that I can teach at the high school level. My mom is a teacher, as well as many of my aunts. Teaching is in my blood. When I was little, I would always come into my mom's classroom after school and pretend to teach. Furthermore, I have had many teachers who have gone above and beyond to not only teach me their subject, but also to guide me through life. Their influences will never be forgotten, and I hope to one day provide that to a student in need. There has never been a doubt in my mind. I know teaching is the career path that I am destined to take.

     It is through this blog that I hope to not only entertain and inform others, but also to begin teaching others the knowledge that I have gained. As a college student, it is my belief that sharing my experiences is the perfect way for me to do this. I also hope that you enjoy reading it, and thanks again for visiting!
