All about me

1. All about me By: Kendra Blair

2. Where am I from? • I grew up in Williamsport with my Mom and Step-Dad. We lived out in the country and I was always outside. I was always riding my four-wheeler with my friends that lived close by. We would go stop lighting every night during the summer and have camp fires. I loved growing up here. It was nice being away from town. I recently moved to Bellefonte, PA about a month ago. I’m still getting used to it but I like it so far.

3. Where I’ve gone to school • I first started going to school I went to South Williamsport school district in PA when I was five years old. I only stayed in the South Williamsport school district until the end of my 1st grade year. My Mom met my step Dad and we moved in with him. I then started 2nd grade in the Jersey Shore school district. I continued school at Jersey Shore and graduated in 2008. I played different sports throughout school. I really enjoyed soccer and softball.

4. College • Once I graduated from high school I went to Mansfield University for one year undecided. I then transferred to Pennsylvania College of Technology and studied Early Childhood Education. I graduated from Penn College in 2011 with an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I then transferred to Lock Haven University to finish my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I became very interested in individuals with Disabilities throughout my Special Education classes and changed my major to Learning Disabilities and Community Services. I’m now a senior and will be doing an internship and graduating next semester!
