WELCOME :)

Welcome to Kids, Paws, and Education.  You may be wondering why my blog is called Kids, Paws, and Education, well I want to teach third grade (kids), I also love animals (paws), and I am currently in college (education).  In this blog I will mostly focus on my experiences in different classrooms that I observe, the animals at the humane society, and I will also write about my journey through the Education Program.

My name is Patience Walker and I am 20 years old.  I am currently a sophomore attending Henderson State University in Arkadelphia Arkansas.  My major is Early Childhood Education.  I chose to major in Education because I like to help people.  I love seeing the look on children’s faces when they finally understand what you are trying to teach them.

I was born in Frankfurt, Germany but I do not know how to speak German.  My dad is in the military so I have moved around for most of my life.  I have lived in Lawton Oklahoma, Ft. Leavenworth Kansas, Ft. Riley Kansas, White Hall Arkansas, Arkadelphia Arkansas, and now my home is Ft. Sill Oklahoma when I am not at Henderson State.  I have a total of 5 people in my immediate family and my parents have been married for over 20 years.  I have two younger brothers named Tommie and Elias.  My brother Tommie is 15 and Elias is 14.  We also have two dogs named Myah and Shadow.

During my free time I LOVE to read books.  I love to read because it is like an escape from reality, some people watch TV but I like to read…I do not even have a TV.  My favorite genre to read is Romance because the novels are always really cute.  I also volunteer at the Humane Society of Clark County every day.  I love helping animals, and I love helping people find the perfect pet for their family.  Most of the pictures on this blog will be of the animals at the Humane Society.
