Hey everyone,
I'm Caterina, but everyone calls me Cathy. I'm a Senior Math Education major, and I live in the village. I am from Union Beach, N.J. I went to Red Bank Regional High School and I was doing the business program. I also played field hockey and softball for three years. I love to read books. I try to read all sorts of kinds, but I stick away from aliens and things like that!I have an awesome family who I love dearly. Family is the most important thing to me. I have three older brothers who are all married, two beautiful nephews and one niece. Everyone thinks she looks just like me and thinks shes my daughter! I wanted to become a teacher in fifth grade because my teacher was awesome! He did lost of hands on activities and made it fun and interesting. At that time, a few other students and I were doing Algebra. He had blocks that we used and this really cool computer game, that he would have teachers come in to see those people do it. The next year I went to a tournament called the 24 game at Liberty Science Center. (dork, i know lol). I got really far into it and I met the creator of the game. It was a fun time. I want to become a math teacher because I want to do the same thing to another student that my 5th grade teacher did to me. I want to make math fun and I believe students need to have good teachers to fully enjoy the subject, because if you have one bad teacher, you won't like that subject anymore (ie. history for me). I cant wait to graduate and start teaching, because it will be another chapter in my life that I cant wait to start!
