Hello, I'm Paige Davis! I am currently attending Cal State San Marcos
in hopes to achieve a Bachelors degree in Liberal Studies. Teaching is
my passion. I love knowing I can make a difference in children's lives.
Growing up in California, I
experienced some great teachers that never gave up no matter how
difficult the challenge may be. I lived in Temecula my entire life.
I
attended Rancho Elementary School from k-5th grade. I could never forget
dissecting a squid in 5th grade in Mr. Moon's class. In sixth grade I
attended Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac. I then went to Carden Academy for
7th and 8th grade. When I attended this school I took a field trip to
Catalina with my class, which was incredible!
I then attended
Chaparral High School from 9th-12th grade. Go Pumas! I wasn't sure what
to do next or what I wanted for a career so I signed up for a community
college called Mount San Jacinto There I obtained two A.As. One in
Social Behavioral and Science and one in Humanities. During that time I
discovered I wanted to become a Elementary school teacher. I then
transferred to San Marcos and I'm currently in my junior year.
I have a good sense of technology, and I sometimes enjoy dissecting my computer.I like to learn about new technologies as they reach the public hand, but I refrain from buying a new i pads, macs,cars, etc.each time they release. It really cost to much and the technology breaks way to often (right out of warranty of course). I do make exceptions when I buy smartphones, and an occasional iPods if given to me as a gift.
College of Education Mission Statement
The
mission of the College of Education community is to collaboratively
transform public education by preparing thoughtful educators and
advancing professional practices. We are committed to diversity,
educational equity, and social justice, exemplified through reflective
teaching, life-long learning, innovative research, and ongoing service.
Our practices demonstrate a commitment to student-centered education,
diversity, collaboration, professionalism, and shared governance.
(Adopted by the COE Governance Community October, 1997)The
entire statement describes what type of teacher I want to become. I
chose CSUSM because they are one of the best schools in California to
achieve a teaching credential.
I grew up in Orange and we dissected a squid in the fifth grade also! I can still remember seeing the ink, being so terrified it was going to squirt me, gross. Also, I can't wait for that satisfaction of making a difference in students' lives; that may be one of the most exciting parts of becoming a teacher!

ReplyDeleteNice meeting you too!
DeleteYou girls are lucky. I only got to dissect dried up worms and frogs. They smelled really bad and were not any fun.
ReplyDeleteHey Paige, Kudos on the two AA's! I was once a Psych major and now have my AA in History and am completing my BA in History this semester, and also I am applying to Grad school to hopefully start in the fall for my Masters in History (American Imperialism).
