Jennifer Gibbons, EDUC 1070-3, Introduce yourself 8/29/13

Hi everyone. I go by Jen typically, but Jennifer or Jenny works too. In the future I hope to be a special education teacher; I believe although those students may think differently than we do they are not stupid and should be taught in the best way possible for them. I kind of have two families my biological one is currently moving from Arlington Heights, IL to Pewaukee, WI. My adopted family is my best friends family and pretty much my second home. Typically I live with my Mom, Dad, and my 9 year old pain a.k.a. little brother Josh. In my free time I love to: Take photography especially with film, if I can get access to the right equipment Listen to music Attempt to draw (I am awful at it) Hang out with friends

A random little fact about me is that I have six cousins in Kuwait although I cannot understand their native language at all because although they are Arabic I am not. My educational background:
