Introduction - Comm 10 (Fall '12)

Hi everyone!

My name is Theresa.  I am 21 years old, 5th year student at SJSU with a special major in musical theatre and a double minor in dance and elementary education. Graduating in the spring!  Finally ;)   I am also a member of Company One, the musical theatre troupe that has been on campus for 23 years, and I have been part of the company for 4 years (3 performing and 1 as a stage manager)

I chose this communications course because it fit easily in my schedule and I need it to fulfill a GE requirement.  I have prevously taken an online class with Carol and really enjoyed it so I thought this would be right up my ally to try again.  My goal for this class is to pass and fulfill my GE requirement and have a good time while meeting new people in this class. 

A little about me....Well, I am from So San Francisco/San Bruno, CA.  I am the oldest of 4 kids in my family,  my boyfriend and I are very close and have been together for a little over a year, I'm a dance teacher to children in Los Gatos, and I am currently taking a bartending class in Mt View to help enhance my knowledge in wine as well as mixology, potentially flair.  I have been having a blast with that this summer, and also taught dance for the childrens musical theatre camp on campus this summer.  I am looking after graduation to find a job in theatrical education, or theatre for youth.  I would like to perform and do shows for kids and create materials for teachers to use in their classrooms to reinforce curriculum.  I am a strong proponent about bringing theatre into schools to help reinforce the standardized curriculum kids have to learn as well as give kids different learning tools to create with. 

Looking forward to working with everyone in the class! :)

Take it easy!
