My name is Jillian Lazzari and I am from Loxley, Alabama. I am the youngest of four. My older sister is married with two children named Abby and Andy. My oldest brother is also married and has a little boy named Jake. My other brother is still in college and like me attends USA. We are both majoring in Elementary Education. In my spare time I like to read and watch sports. I am an avid fan of the Atlanta Braves and Auburn tigers. I have been working a law office in Fairhope for about six months now.
I graduated from Daphne High School and then attended Faulkner State Community College for two years. I chose to attend USA, because it has a great Education program. I hope to graduate in 2013 with my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education/Special Education. I hope to find a job being a Special Ed teacher. I have two friends who have sons that suffer from Asperger syndrome and they inspired me to want to work with kids with disabilities.
Time Management!
Some of the things that Randy Pausch teaches us is how to set goals for yourself, how to handle time for yourself, and how to deal with your boss. I learned from him how Americans are not good with time, but they are good with money. I agree with him that more people waste their time doing nothing and that people should manage their time better. Watching his video will help me plan my days more accordingly. I also learned from the video to always have a plan. Another thing I learned from the video is to create a to-do list and how it will be helpful in managing my time.
Jill,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like we have something in common growing up in a large family. I was the oldest of all my siblings so consider yourself lucky because I was blamed for a lot. I am also a sports fan but I root for the other tigers in the SEC. I thought the motivation to work with disabled children was very genuine. I enjoyed learning about you and keep up the good work.
Did you find out anything about Dr. Pausch?
ReplyDeleteDr. Strange,
ReplyDeleteI never heard of Dr. Pausch when I first watched the video, but I did a little reseach on him and found out that he was professor of computer science and human-computer interaction and design at Carnegie Mellon University. I also learned that he died of pancreatic cancer in 2008.
Hi Jill,
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome that you want to work in Special Education. I have a cousin who is mentally handicapped. His teachers through the years have helped improve his quality of life so much! It is a challenging and very rewarding field of education. Good luck and I look forward to working with you on future projects in this class!
Hey Jill Lazzari, I read your comment on my story about Guy Fawkes. I'm really surprised to get from you. Any way thank you for that comment and I hope to hear more from you.
