Introducing Sara Johnson

Hey Everyone,

  I'm Sara and I am 24 years old.  I am a senior at CSUSM and am hoping to graduate in the fall. I am happily married to my high school sweetheart and we are now expecting our first child.  :) So there are lots of changes headed our way which we are very excited about. When I was younger I lived in the Long beach area and attended k-3rd grades their at Bonita Elementary.  After that we moved to Vista and have been here ever since.  I attended Monte Vista Elementary School, Lincoln Middle school and than Rancho Buena Vista High school in 2004.  Right after high school I enrolled into Palomar and have been taking college courses ever since.  In 2008 I transferred to csusm and was originally an accounting major.  I figured out that accounting wasn't for me and decided to switch my major to liberal studies. :)

    When it comes to me and technology I am probably considered behind on a lot of it.  I have a PC that I usually only really use for school.  I know how to do basic things and everything that I need to get by.  I have never used a mac before so it is very different for me.  So it may take me some time to get use to.  Also blogging is extremely new to me but I am very excited to learn more about it and get more up to date.
 
       The csusm mission statement didn't really have an affect on my decision to enter this program.  Honestly its because I have never read it until now.  After reading it though I definitely feel secure in my decision.  I think that the statement shows the dedication of the school and teachers to educate up coming teachers to the best of their ability.  Also expressing the commitment towards student-centered education, diversity, collaboration, professionalism and shared governance is all important for the future of education.  There is always room for advancement in the world of education and I think it relies a lot on future teachers.
