Hey all!
My name is Ana Hidalgo and I am a part of the dazzling first class of Torch Scholars! So this is my LAST semester here at Northeastern University! YAY!! It has been quite a journey from being here the summer of 2006. It has been an unbelievable experience and I feel old because it is now time for me to move on…(bittersweet)! I’m currently extremely busy with classes (trying to make Dean’s list one last time!), work, mentoring along with other community service projects, and of course trying to find a job for the fall of this year. I’m majoring in Psychology with a minor in Latino(a), Latin American and Caribbean Studies. I intend on going to grad school in a year or two, but for now I would like to teach. I have an interview soon at a school in Newton to be a pre-school teacher in a Bilingual setting. So I am in the process of getting my EEC certification (Early Education & Care Certification). To obtain certification, you need to have a certain amount experience, plus you must fulfill different course requirements. Luckily for me, I was able to get all this through the co-op I did here at NU (which is also how I decided how I wanted to teach for a while). Well, this is all for now! I have to complete an assignment for my Latin American Society & Development class and then head to work!
P.S. Only 79 DAYS UNTIL GRADUATION!! J
