Blog Post # 1
Born to the parents of Emanuel and Kimberly Jackson on March 11, 1991; in Irving, California; I was the youngest of three children: Jolene, Celina, and then me Alyssa Jackson. When I was two years of age my family moved to Okinawa Japan since my father was in the Marines. When I was six we moved to Texas, and a year later to Florida where I lived for thirteen year.
Throughout middle and high school in Florida I began a new hobby playing the clarinet in band. In high school I joined the marching band. Also in high school I devolved a skill that soon turned into a passion, which is my love for math. I also enjoy music and looking at the moon and stars. This is where I got the idea of my first tattoo, music notes, stars, and the moon.
At my first college, I became a very exceptional student in math, receiving the highest math award as a freshman. I tutored for the local high school and for my college. I then relieved I wanted to pursue my career as a Secondary Math teacher. Next, to father my education to become a math teacher, I knew that I could not stay at my first school, so this is how I happen to attend University of South Alabama.
In watching the clip Randy Pausch on Time Management, I learned that planning is very important. You can always change your plans, but only once you have one. Also failing to plan, is planning to fail. It is also good to have a to do list. A to do list keeps life organized and helps maintain effective time management skills. Randy Pausch stated that in a to do list, it is best to do the ugliest thing first, in other words, it is good to do the toughest job instead of keep coming back to it.
