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!
