About Me

I am a 26-year-old mother of two beautiful children and I have been married to a wonderful man for nearly six years now. Of course, he occasionally acts like a child but don’t all men? Outside of that, there isn’t very much to say about me. I made the decision to pursue history in college in 2015, just before my daughter was born. I wanted to do something to make her and my son proud, so I decided to enroll in college. I decided on attending Grand Canyon University after spending quite a bit of time thinking and looking at other options. Grand Canyon University had the most positives on my pros and cons list and I do not regret my decision to enroll. While I am not sure if my children are prouder of me or annoyed now, I know they will be proud of me in the future and that’s what counts.

I of course, have hobbies. Like most mothers I enjoy playing with my children, listening to them talk and reading them stories all day long and especially at bedtime. I also love reading, any type of fiction will do. I will read some non-fiction at times, but it is not my favorite genre. I also enjoy collecting figurines especially ones from shows that I like. Art is another thing I appreciate though I can’t drawn to save my life.

I’ve enjoyed almost all the classes I have attended at Grand Canyon University and I would have to say that Multicultural Literature has been one of my favorites. It has taught me so much about the different genres of literature and how each culture has something different to bring to the table that is the written word. Multicultural Literature to me is something that is very important as it brings us closer together as a people. Yes, it shows our differences, but I think it also helps to unite us by pointing out the things we have in common, thoughts, feelings and emotions included.

I hope that my children will be able to attend such a class one day. I want them to be able to enjoy the different types of writing that there are in the world. I want them to know that Chinese helped make poetry mainstream and I want them to realize where the haiku comes from and not simply focus on the fact that it is a poem with a five, seven, five pattern in regards to syllables. I want them to know that it is something that was introduced by the Japanese people, something that was important to their culture and I very much hope that it will be important to my children in the future.

Multicultural Literature is diverse and lovely. It is full of life and it is something that I hope will continue thriving for quite some time as while we are all the same and we all bleed the same color, we are at the heart of things very different, bringing gifts to the table that others may not.
