Until 15 minutes ago I had never heard of this forum. A page came up on a Google search, I spent a few minutes reading a thread and was immediately intrigued.
I'm outgoing in person - one of those annoying people who delights in public speaking - but online forums/discussion groups tend to intimidate me, probably because most groups seem to have a little clique of elitists that know more than I know [or even want to know] about whatever topic it was I found interesting.
This group, however, seems different. I'm pleased that I found it.
About me - I'm a 27-year-old American girl who teaches English and Science to new immigrants from Latin America, mainly Mexico. I'm also the newly-crowned Sex Ed teacher, and since I teach 11-13 year old people - well, you could say I'm a little nervous. Maybe nervous isn't the right word - filled with dread - what's the best word to describe that? Terrified? Maybe this is why I'm getting a Masters in Library Science...get me out of the classroom, please!
Other than that which is the main thing that fills my life [my job], I'm not married, I don't have kids or pets, and being an only child, I love my current living situation. I spend my evenings switching between every cable channel that plays rap/hip hop videos, which I know would shock and amuse my teenage students. I love many kinds of music, art, and literature, especially Indian lit these days. Right now my goal and constant obsession is planning a trip to India for next summer.
Right, so I'm going to read a little more before I jump in talking too much - Thanks for having me.
