"By constant self-discipline and self-control you can develop greatness of character." - Grenville Kleiser

Internet Movie Database: I am fairly obsessed with watching movies. A website that i frequently go to is IMDB. It is a movie website that has message boards where you can voice your opinion on basically any movie or television show out there.

The experiment they are performing on these young children is called the "Marshmallow Test." How it is conducted is by having a child in the room with one marshmallow set in front of them. They are told by the conductor that they can eat the marshmallow now if they'd like, but if they wait until the experimenter comes back, then they can have another marshmallow. 

The results of whether the child eats the marshmallow before the conductor comes back is what's most interesting to me. The results indicate that the children who decided to wait for the second marshmallow develop into an overall more well-adjusted, successful adult than those who ate the marshmallow before the experimenter came back. The reason? Self control.

Introductory Piece

Hi, my name is Kerri and I am twenty-one years old. I was born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania. I am one of five children, which include: Two older sisters, a twin brother, and a younger sister. From kindergarten until twelfth grade I attended Catholic Schools, so I was pretty much raised with Christian beliefs. Although, I will mention that my views are predominately liberal. Sports was a huge deal in my family, so I grew up playing basketball and softball. Overall, I would say I have had an average upbringing and lived a fairly normal life, thus far.

My aspirations while being an educator, is to change children's lives. I want to be the teacher children reflect on  positively and be remembered as a person who actually cared about them. I hope, someday, to make my classroom a place where learning can be seen as fun and not a chore. I hope to make a positive difference in the student's life and I want them to be able to reach their full potential. My main concern as an educator would be to make the world a better place, one student at a time.

While Sharing this blog, I hope others will understand my views better. I am also excited to see what other's point of view are, as well. I want to see how my views differ from other's. In summary, while sharing this blog, I want people to get a better understanding of my opinions and who I am.
