WELCOME TO MY BLOG

Hello, my name is Markie Black. 

I graduated from Columbus State Community College in winter of 2010.  I started at Ashland University, Columbus location in Fall of 2011.  I am in their Bachelors Plus Program and plan to graduate next Fall with a license to teach kindergarten- third grade.  I am also interested in looking into studying intervention specialist.  I am currently completing my first field experience at Ashland in a local first grade classroom.  As well I work as a substitute at a local preschool. 

As of right now, having most of my experience being in preschool, I believe in the future I would like to teach kindergarten locally.  However I am just getting my foot in the education door and may change my mind. Not to mention with the economy as is I will probably just be happy to get a good job, anywhere.

I think I first wanted to become a teacher because my grandma taught elementary school.  As a young child I always remember playing school, being the teacher, making pretend test, and reading stories to stuffed toys. Plus I enjoyed being around youngsters.  But then as I grew up and began studying education something changed.  I now want to be an advocate for young children, it’s not just about liking children.  But realizing how influential you can actually be in their lives. A quote that remains with me always is, “A person's a person, no matter how small.” ― Dr. Seuss, this is so true.  Preschool teachers are not glorified babysitters; more emphasis needs to be toward early education. 

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my friends and family.  I love eating out at nice restaurants, being outdoors, and going to football games, GO BUCKS! I have a dog-named Milli, she is a pit bull, and the love of my life.  Like many children can be, pit bulls are misunderstood.  She is the biggest baby, lover, and cuddle buddy ever!
