Introduction Letter


My name is Noelle Neuhart. I am from...drum roll please...SAN MARCOS! But don't you worry, it has been a long road for me to get here. In 422. Today. My first school was Knob Hill Elementary. Then off to Woodland Park Middle School (yes, WPMS, teehee). High school: San Marcos fighting Knights! College: 1. Palomar CC (still in San Marcos, itching to get out), 2. California State University Long Beach, 3. Griffith University, AUSTRALIA! (best year of my life), then 4. back to Long Beach(earning my BA in Communication Studies) and now, 5. back home and attending CSUSM (in hopes of figuring out life a little more).

My technology experience has been learned strictly from my experience in college. While in Australia, studying Communication Studies, I had two technology classes, where I learned how to blog, post videos on youtube, and other things that I should remember, yet for some reason can't. Because I am a new user to a Macbook, it has sparked my interest in learning how to do the "cooler" side of technology (imovie). I'd say on a scale from 1-10, I'm probably a solid 5. I use my theory to technology as I do to lots of things in life: fake it til you make it!

I'm not going to lie. This was the first time I read the Mission Statement. The two things that stood out to me the most where the words, "life-long learning" and "ongoing service." I am a firm believer that we are sponges to life and that life is a constant learning experience. Teaching as a career seems to also be one of "ongoing service," I believe its one of the best services you can offer another individual.
