Intro Letter
Hello! My name is Jessica Heflin and I am a professional undergraduate. I am originally from New York but have been living in San Diego for now 10 years...in case you are wondering, the accent comes out when I am angry or talking to my mother (which sometimes go hand-in-hand) I attended my first two years of high school at New Utrecht High in Brooklyn, NY. I attended and then graduated San Pasqual High in Escondido. I am currently working on my BS here at CSUSM. If I am able to pass physics then I will have my degree in biology by the end of this year. Ironically enough I already "walked" and my photo is on the back cover for the Alumni newsletter . Anyway, I look forward to teaching high school biology in the not so distant future.
Technology and I have a love hate relationship. More times than not the pendulum has been oscillating around love since I no longer wait until 4am to write a paper that is due at 8am the SAME day! I am dependent on technology every single day: checking e-mail, playing Wii, talking on my cell phone, performing statistical analysis of a bio-chemical assay, calculator, walki-talkies, listening to my iPod....etc. I have and always will be a Mac person. I am not a fan of the Microsoft '08 release for Mac I am currently using Microsoft '06 for Mac, the student and teacher's edition.
One of the College of Education's commitments is to educational diversity. As a future teacher of an ever changing and growing population I am passionate about being apart of a diverse educational environment. Generating and maintaining a productive, diverse and safe learning environment is my mission which coincides with one of the many focuses of CSUSM's CoE. I believe in a diverse classroom and I strive making it a reality through the credentialing process. What drew me to the program is the fact that CSUSM has been my home for my whole college career and I enjoy the small class sizes and brand new resources.
