My name is
Kristine Jackson and I am a freshman
here at Nichols College. I am a mathematics Education major and I am a
two-sport athlete here. I play Field Hockey and Softball; We are going to
Florida for spring break. I grew up in Medway, MA. It is a very small town just
40 minutes south of Boston. If you ever came to Medway you would find a lot of
open land and farms scattered across the town. Everyone knows everyone where I
am from. Medway is a well-known town for athletes along with our competitor towns
like Hopkinton and Bellingham. Because we are an athletic town I have played
sports my whole life. I have been involved in basketball, golf, swimming,
soccer, tennis, and of course field hockey and softball. As I got older i
played basketball, field hockey, and softball competitively. I golf and play
tennis for fun in the summertime. I also was a babysitter throughout high
school and during the summers I would work at Arden B. in the Natick Collection
in Natick/Framingham, MA.
I am hoping to gain a
better understanding of the importance of technology these days. I am studying
to be a teacher and I have heard that each day more and more schools are having
students use a laptop or iPad during class to take notes and or visit specific
websites for them to learn from. I would like to learn how to improve my skills
on computers. Computers allow you to find information about many things, like
news, movie clips, study tips, and etc. Technology has become a huge part of
our lives and to tell you the truth I don’t think we could live without it.
Everywhere on the news I
have heard about the cruise ship sinking off the coast of Italy. All that I was
reminded of was the Titanic. I never thought anything like the accident with
the Titanic would ever happen again but it did. What interests me the most is
why the captain of the cruise ship abandoned ship first. I have always known
that the captain was supposed to stay on ship until every one of his/her
passengers were off the ship. To learn more about this topic I found a Blog
that CNN updates regularly. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/11/this-is-this-just-in/
Kristine, I admire that you are a math major. That seems to take a lot of skill, and since math is something I deeply struggle with, I only wish I could be able to pursue something like that. What do you plan to do in your future, for a career with math? Do you plan on playing sports or coaching after college? Throughout high school I have been a babysitter as well, so I can relate to that aspect work! As for working at Arden B, I love the Natick mall, and have definitely been in that store a few times. I agree that I would love to learn to improve my computer skills as well. Since technology is improving everyday it’s something important to keep up with. After hearing about the cruise ship sinking, Titanic was also the first thing that came to my mind. I found this to be very interesting as well, and I couldn’t believe it when I heard the caption of the cruise abandoned the ship first.
