My name is Rosie Banuelos. I was born and raised in San Diego. I attended St. Mary's Catholic School in Escondido until 2nd grade. I then transitioned into public school, attended Miller Elementary, Del Dios Middle School and San Pasqual High School, all located in Escondido. I received a full athletic scholarship to play field hockey and attended my first two years of College at Old Dominion University in Norfolk,Va. I competed in the Final Four my Freshman year, and Elite 8 my Sophmore year. Field Hockey was my entire life for those two years. I did manage a little study time with Graphic Design while I was there. They say "student-athlete" however, it's more like "athlete-student". I then transferred from the hard core hockey and finished my last two years at UC Berkeley where I completed my last two years of eligibility and studied Sociology. I am currently coaching at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. I coach U16 girls in Olympic Development Skills. I love giving back to my sport and working with young women who are looking to play Collegiate Hockey. I am also pursuing a career as a Speech Pathologist. I am hoping to get into the Master's program of Communicative Sciences and Disorders here at CSUSM. This class is one of the pre-requisites for the 5 semester long program. I am super excited and ready to start! I recently got engaged and through all this madness, trying to plan a wedding for this May, I know, I'm crazy.
Where am I on the technology continuum? Well, I would say I can get by or find a way to figure things out, however, I know my life could probably be a little easier if I learn to take full advantage of what technology has to offer. I have been using Mac for a few years now and am really happy I made the switch. I look forward to learning how to be more computer savy.
After reading the College of Education Mission Statement, I strongly agree with it all. I especially like the part about transforming public education by preparing
thoughtful educators and
advancing professional practices. I believe that as future Educators, we must constantly grow and be willing to adapt and remain open-minded. I feel that technology will bring many helpful ways/ideas/methods to teach and learn. I look forward to working with technology services in the future as a Speech Therapist.
