Introduction

Hello everyone!

My name is Audrey Heffelfinger. I am a second-year student at Colorado State University, double-majoring in English Education and Art. I am originally from Cedar Crest, New Mexico, a small town East of Albuquerque, surrounded by mountains and hiking trails.

Through my own experiences working with kids, I have discovered a passion for helping people, and influencing younger generations in positive ways. As a future teacher, I am always aware of how much educators impact their students. We can all remember our favorite or least favorite teachers, and most of us were fundamentally impacted by these people, who shaped our lives and helped us develop our own passions. I want to teach love and positivity to my students, and I want them to learn compassion for others and ultimately themselves.

Through this blog, I hope to not only fulfill the requirements of my CO301D class, but also learn the methods and skills in writing that will allow me to successfully communicate in my future professional environment.
