A little about me :)

Heyy, so my name is Talis, if you'd like you can call me Tal (pronounced like Al but with a T in front).  

                       

A little about me is I am 21 years old and my birthday is at the end of September. I went to CCRI for 2 years and just graduated in May. When I was younger, I knew I wanted to help others but I wasn't exactly sure who or how. I thought the only solution to that was to become a doctor in the future. I quickly realized not only was I not interested in cutting people open or having the pressure of someones life on my hands, but I didn't want to go to school for a  long time. I thought about lots of different options before realizing I wanted to be a social worker. Although, after CCRI, I changed my mind and decided I wanted to be a middle school teacher with a concentration in English and now here we are!

                         

I am the oldest and have 3 other siblings. I have 2 ferrets of which I love with my entire soul!! Their names are Slinky and Estella B Jones. (Definitely NOT a play on miss Junie B...) I love doing things to help others and have events when I can. I had a back to school giveaway at a park where I gave away over 80 backpacks, pens, pencils, notebooks, folders, etc!! I had drinks and snacks made as well that were free to grab. It made me so happy to be able to do that and in the future I truly do wish to be able to do it often!

I love adventure time and have a tattoo of Jake (Okay so I might've slacked and haven't finished it but I promise I'm not a poser!!) I also love music and can listen to ALMOST any genre. I'm not a fan of techno or scream-o music truthfully BUT country music, rap, indie, I love it. I enjoy reading although I haven't in a while. One of my favorite movies is, All The Bright Places and I cry watching it every time. Lastly, cause this seems long, I am super excited for this class and to get field practice and genuinely can't wait to learn more.
