Hello all, my name is Shawn and I am a 25 year old female living in Northern Virginia. I graduated from UVA in 2008 with a BS in biology and a BA in psychology. The year after graduation I worked as a kindergarten teacher at a private child care center teaching math and science. I definitely learned a lot about kids. For the past couple years I have been working as a medical assistant in various specialties. I have worked in ophthalmology, dermatology, and currently internal medicine. My goal is to attend medical school. I am also looking into doing an accelerated nursing program and I am taking this course as a prerequisite.
I took a sociology course in college about popular culture which was very interesting so I am looking forward to getting a broader knowledge base about various aspects of sociology.
In between working and taking courses at NOVA I do not have a lot of spare time but I love to read. I also like to hang out with friends as often as possible. I like finding new activities to do (like the wine festival I will be attending this weekend!). I am currently training for the Disney World marathon next January so don't be surprised if you hear me complaining in future posts about how tired I am and how much my legs hurt.
Some of my random favorite things: my favorite color is green, my favorite candy bar is Twix, one of my favorite smells is freshly cut grass, one of my favorite sounds is stepping on crunchy leaves in the fall, and my favorite artist is Van Gogh. I feel like I'm filling out a Match.com profile :-)
I am excited to get to know everyone else in the class and to read everyone's thoughts on issues. I am sure we will have a lot of interesting opinions on topics. Good luck to everyone in the course!
