Parvin, Lindsay Ann Blog Post #1
A Bit About Me
My name is Lindsay Ann Parvin – most people call me L.A. or Lindsay Ann. I am USA Alumni, class of 2005. I currently live in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I have degrees in History with an emphasis on German History and Secondary Education. I also have minors in English and Sociology. I have taught at Alma Bryant High School in Irvington, Alabama, and Shades Valley High School in Birmingham, Alabama. I have taught both ends of the spectrum from I.B. to remediation for the AHSGE. I have also coached volleyball and softball at both schools. After moving to Birmingham, we discovered I had a blood clotting condition that caused me to suffer a pulmonary embolism and heart failure. My husband and I decided the best place for me was at home with our children. After being a domestic goddess for five years and completing a recent divorce, I have decided to go to graduate school at USA. Before I can be admitted and start my program, I have to get my teacher’s certificate reinstated. I sit for the Praxis next weekend! I hope to start my graduate studies in the Fall. I look forward to everything new I have to learn!
My hobbies and interest include my children, History, making jewelry, reading, Theatre, and sports. My children are my life. I have full custody of my five year old daughter, Caroline, and my twin stepsons visit me twice a week. Caroline loves school, playing guitar, and video games. The twins are sixteen years old, play football for Ocean Springs High School, and want to attend the University of Alabama. I found my love for German History the summer after I graduated high school, when I backpacked much of Europe. I hope to retire to Rothenburg ob der Tauber one day. While WWI and WWII spark most peoples’ interest, my fascination lies with Bismarck’s reign. I have my own small business in Ocean Springs. I make jewelry with glass beads and sell to many local stores. Pleasure reading is scarce these days, but I am currently reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Theatre is a new passion of mine. I have most recently been seen in the Biloxi Little Theatre’s production of Cabaret, and I am currently helping with their summer production of Dog Sees God. I don’t get to play sports as much as I used to, but I play a pick-up game whenever I can. I am also an avid University of Alabama football fan – that’s where I went to undergrad before South Alabama. I have many hobbies and interest, but I love them all!
I really hope I watched the right video, because the link on the EDM310 Class blog wouldn’t work. It would not allow me to open it. I couldn’t remember the man’s name that led the video discussion. I did watch a four minute video on YouTube entitled, Randy Pausch on Time Management – I would like to thank my fellow classmates that had already blogged today and were practicing great time management for giving me his name. I am not a procrastinator, but I would love to rid my life of stress. I am afraid I don’t meet Mr. Pausch’s definition of most Americans – I am great with time management and very poor at dealing with money as a commodity. I guess I should set some monetary goals.
