About me

     Hi! My name is Lindsay Curtis, and I am a Junior here at the University. My major is Health Education, but I am also applying to Occupational Therapy School this semester. If therapy school doesn't work out, I plan to be a teacher and hopefully coach cheerleading or dance. I am a newlywed! I was married to Chip Curtis this past November, and being married rocks! Chip teaches at Alma Bryant High School, and is a football coach. Maybe one day we will be a household of educators! In my spare time, I love to read, dance, and draw. I am usually very busy, so I enjoy having some free time every once in a while to relax with a good book. I am excited about this semester's education classes that I am enrolled in! I love learning about how I can be the best educator I can be.
     I am saved by the blood of Jesus Christ! I am blessed to have the opportunity to further my education, and I want to be purposeful with my time here at USA. Wherever the Lord leads me, I will glorify him in all I do!
 


Thoughts on Randy Pausch's Video

     It has always occurred to me that Americans really do not value their time. I am guilty of it myself. By watching Randy Pausch's video, I see that it is important to not only plan, but to consider the motives behind what I am doing. I need to ask myself why I am planning this activity or task. I also need to consider what will happen if I don't plan or push myself to a achieve a goal or task. By setting goals, and trying to achieve them in the right way, I can't go wrong. Experience comes with time, and experience can't be faked. This is so true. As a student, I must keep in mind that my time should be treasured. I should plan my goals in multiple steps, and "eat the big frogs first". As far as knowing anything else about Dr. Pausch, I can see that he will inspire many people to come with his refreshing viewpoints.
