Hi there, I'm Jake!
Here's a little bit about myself...
Education and My Major
I'm currently a sophomore here at IUPUI majoring in Secondary English Education. For as long as I can remember, I've looked up to every English teacher I've had, often noting the one I had each year as my favorite. The hard part about that now is that I always have more than one to choose from during each semester! As far as why I'm choosing to join this field, I want to be able to help students in any way I can, just like my old and current teachers have helped me grow and understand the world around me.
And now, we'll get a little personal...
My cat, Marbles
Though she's a little bit confused as to which of us is the pet and which of us is the owner, she keeps me company on most days and brightens up my world with her meows (that is, whenever I'm not already in the middle of something...).
My music
Whether it be just for myself or for the whole world to hear, I absolutely love hearing and playing music. I've been playing guitar for about four years now, and I still feel like fireworks are going off whenever I learn a new song or finally finish one of my own (I'll be sure to provide a link to my YouTube channel if you're interested).
My nephew, Hudson
If you're looking at this now, you're basically experiencing the same thing I do when he comes over. For some reason, this little guy finds me so interesting that he stares at me constantly. And I think it's amazing and hilarious. Though he's only eight months old, I can tell that I'm going to love spending time with him and being the cool uncle I've always wanted to be.
