A Little about Myself...

My name is Doris McManus I am a Junior at the University of South Alabama. I am seeking a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. After completing this degree I hope to to teach third grade. My strengths are English particularly writing and I enjoy math. I have tutored other college students in both these subjects while at South Alabama. After teaching for a couple of years I would like to return to college and seek my Master's degree in Elementary Education.

I would like to teach in the public education system. Staying local in Mobile is also very important to me. I have a family and I wouldn't want to up root them. I am a very hard worker and I think teaching is the most important job in the world. My philosophy is with out teachers we wouldn't have doctors and lawyers. I really do get a joy from teaching that I've never found at any other job I have held. My past employment has been in retail. I have worked for Wal-Mart for the past ten years. I feel this job has really prepared my for public education system because it has taught me not only how to deal with the general public ,but also work ethics.
