A. Nunez Introduction

Hello!

My name is Alexandra Nunez, but I go by Alex and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I will be a Senior this upcoming school year and I am a Mathematics major on the education track as well as an English minor. I plan on graduating Spring 2024 instead of Spring 2023 with my Masters in Education and my licensing to teach. My plan is to be a teacher for a couple of years and then eventually become a Principal. I’ve always been super close to my Middle School/High School Principal and she was the one who inspired me to go into the Education field. 

I love to go on adventures and spend time with friends and family. I also really like to go on vacation and do exotic things. I have an 11 year old red-eared slider named Skipper and for some reason my parents and teachers allowed me to bring her to Show-and-Tell when I was in the 4th grade! I’m Dominican, but born and raised in NYC and I have enjoyed the different cultures and experiences both locations offer. 

I decided to take an English course because it was the last one I needed to complete my English minor. I just didn’t want to take any English course to fulfill my requirement and EGL 309 seemed interesting so I decided to enroll. I took a similar course that was about the human body, thinking, and science a couple of semesters ago and I really enjoyed it, so I’m excited for this course. I usually read a lot of historical fiction books about the Holocaust and World War 2, so a change in what I read and watch is going to be nice. Overall, I’m excited for this course and to explore different realms of literature that I haven’t before!
