All About Me

            I think this is a little overdue but I didn't feel like telling you about myself in my first blog, so I will tell you all about myself right now. My name is Jessica Gieselman and I live in Westminster, MD. I have a younger brother named Bryan who is 16 and a junior in high school. I started school at William Winchester Elementary where I discovered I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. In 4th grade I decided I wanted to play an instrument so at the music shop I tried a bunch of different instruments. I was really bad at all of the instruments except for one, the oboe. It was the only one I could make a sound out of. From then on I continued to play the oboe throughout middle and high school. Also in 4th grade I started playing volleyball for a club called MVSA. That stands for Montgomery Village Sports Association and I played at that club for seven years. Volleyball is a big part of my life and runs in my family because my parents have been coaching for more then 20 years, so when I was little I used to play at their practices. Volleyball continues to be a big part of my life because I now play on the women's team here at Stevenson. Continuing with school, I attended East Middle where nothing really important happened during those three years of my life. I then went to Winters Mill High where I played volleyball and the oboe and learned more about what I wanted to do with my life in the future. I really enjoyed taking any class in high school that had to do with teaching and children because I learned a lot about lesson plans and curriculum. This is what leads me to now, if you couldn't already tell my major is Elementary Education and I am working towards getting my Bachelor's so that I can be an elementary school teacher.
