My name is Nicole, I go by she/her pronouns. I recently returned to school after about 10 years. I have an 8 year old son and now that he is older and in school, I have come back to pursue a degree in English Education. A lot of my summer will be working and trying to entertain my son – but I also have a family vacation planned to go visit family in Florida and a short cruise from Florida to the Caribbean, which we are both excited for.
Most of my week revolves around sports, I run soccer and kickball leagues for LI-Kick, which is LI’s largest adult social sports league – so I spend most of my time on a field. I’ve played soccer my whole life and have been running/playing kickball the last 8 years.
Kickball has turned out to be way more competitive than it was when I was a kid, and a major part of my life the past few years. I even went to nationals (surprisingly this exists) in Las Vegas last year for kickball – which is a statement, I never thought I’d say.
I am taking this class because it fulfilled the requirements, I need to graduate. When I originally signed up for the course- I didn’t know what the course entailed, however now that I’ve read through the syllabus the course strikes me as a really interesting course. I love a good story and sci-fi and genuinely like the content and am looking forward to some really interesting posts/discussions within the class.

Hi Nicole,
Welcome to the course! That is so awesome about your kickball accomplishments. And running the league is also really amazing. I feel like adult sports is really important. Not only is it always nice to have the opportunity to stay active, but its also a great way to meet people and make friends (which it can be hard to do when you get older!).
Glad that the course seems interesting to you! I am really excited to dive into these topics together as a class.
