About me


My name is Beth and I am currently in the Aspire part time program. I am a single mother and have three daughters ages 16, 12, and 8. There names are Daphne, Emma and Margaret. My oldest daughter Daphne is currently studying abroad in Ecuador. I come from a large family and I am the youngest of 8. I will be the first of my brothers and sisters to obtain a masters degree which is very motivating as it seems I have been in school for a long time. I graduated from Willamette last spring with a B. A. in history and prior to that I was a student at Chemeketa. I want to teach U.S. history at the high school level and I am also considering teaching mid high as well.
I have few hobbies as I am very busy. I like to read and am re reading some old Charles Bukowski books in my free time. I am a movie junkie and a music fanatic. My social life revolves around friends and family. I love to cook for people and throw many a diner party for friends and family.I work part-time as a swimming and aerobics instructor which I really enjoy. I do a lot of volunteer work in the local high school and elementary schools that my daughters attend. I am very busy but enjoy my life and my daughters.I am very excited about this class and I am looking forward to becoming a bit more tech savvy.
