Being an idealist, I have already started understanding more about who I am, and I was able to pick up on the answer pretty quickly.
It helps me to know that it is not just what I am thinking but who I am that will be able to help me to be a better leader to a "class of students, group of teachers, or a cadre of principals". I think the fact that I am always on a search for wisdom and the greater meaning of things, that adults as well as children will take knowledge or advice from me considerably more seriously than a frugal thought. Also, it was nice to hear them think that with practice I could be a good public speaker. I somehow usually captivate listeners or groups of listeners, but was always too nervous to be anything more than a shoulder to cry on and a mind for advice and encouragement.
I am excited that in my choice of occupation, I will always be asked to use my imaginantion in more creative ways to encourage learning or understanding.

Personality Profile Part A
The Idealist
I believe that the description of the idealist hit about every point of my personality, and what I would describe as who I am.
My best rationale for this conclusion has come from what I have learned about myself in my marriage. I am always trying to encourage spiritual growth for our family, and finding deeper meanings in whatever my husband does so much that we fight about it (because he would be considered an artisan type). I love helping others in any way that I can and am always encouraging others to look past the materialism to the meanings behind things. I have been teaching my peers and others in my community as long as I can remember, and they seem to really take to me and become inspired to actually learn from the task at hand and grow within themselves. Also, I am a "hopeless romantic" because I always seek the deeper meaning in all my relationships, and thrive on the love.

Browser Wars
A web browser is an execution based software application that allows the user to explore the world wide web. Within the browsers the user specifies a URI (uniform resource identifier) to access many files such as web pages, pictures, videos, and other sorts of information. Once the page is displayed within the web browser, there are usually different links, or hyperlinks that allow the user to navigate the world wide web more efficiently.
The current top four web browsers are: Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer 8, Google Chrome, and then Internet Explorer 7- in that order. I mostly use Internet Explorer because I do not usually keep up with this stuff, mostly I only upgrade or get a new browser if the web sites I want to access are no longer supported by my older browser. My brothers on the otherhand, were very insistent on me downloading Firefox until Chrome came about and now they favor it. They say Google is taking over the computer world... but I just go with the flow here...
The term browser war stands for "the competitions for dominance in usage share in the web browser marketplace." (wikipedia) In other words, each software application is trying to out preform the others in terms of what it can offer the users. I am not really sure why there is an ongoing war for the usage shares of the world wide web because they are all free and do not produce an income from being a web browser. Although, once you download the web browser I noticed they try and make their search engines your homepage which in turn generates ad revenues for them if you decide to use it and the rest of their associated products. Other than that I can't seem to understand why anybody cares to outdo whats already there, but I am glad they do because it keeps pushing us further and bringing more advances in society and techonology. Or maybe less advances as a society...

Blog Address Survey
So, now I am blogging about taking my blog address survey because I think the schedule said it required a post. Well, I hope the teacher was able to get my results because it didn't show up anywhere on my pages saying it was submitted.
No, I am not currently a teacher.
And my GMail address is tnx6devine@gmail.com.
I chose tnx6devine because I usually choose trixiedevine as my user-name or tangeld, but they were both taken already. That's so weird because I usually don't have any problem just using my name. Who knows. tnx6 looks like trixie if you write it down by hand and dot the n and the 6, haha. And tangeld is kind of like my initials Trixie ANGELica Devine. Cool, huh?
Um, I don't have much more to say on turning in my blog address survey, so catch y'all later.

Hello everyone!
My name is Trixie Devine, and I live in Elkins, WV.
I am a 22 year old mother of two beautiful bouncing baby boys, ages 20 months, and 6 months. They are my everything. I'm back in school to give them a better future than otherwise I would have been able to provide.
I am only a sophomore right now, but am majoring in Business Education, Computer Science Education, and hopefully will be able to squeeze in English Education as that is my passion.
I really want to be a teacher. I love being able to open up minds to new possibilities and new ways of thinking. I love having that special kind of relationship with people that no other profession can come close to. Teaching has been my goal my whole life and just now realized it.
As a child I was a tutor to my peers, and I taught Sunday School Classes and some various classes during VBS at the church I belonged to.
This is my first year at Fairmont. I was at WVU first with my two brothers, and then I switched to pursue my teaching degree- which Fairmont does offer a much better program, in my opinion.
Also, as you will probably find out, I tend to go on and on about things that should probably be kept short and sweet, so sorry for any inconvenience guys.
