Introducing...Tassiana Marie

My name is Tassiana (Tassi for short). I am a 23 year old senior at CSUSM getting my BA in HD, specializing in child services in May. I was home schooled until eighth grade and attended a small charter High School afterwards. I went to the notorious Palomar for my General Ed and was a transfer student here. I have a passion to work with children and I am exploring my options in the teaching field!

As far as my technological literacy, I did take three years of computers in High School. It has been a while since I brushed up on the new technology and I am very unfamiliar with Mac computers. I could use all the help I can get!! I am excited for the course, because I would like to have an intimate relationship with my computer.;) If I had it my way, I would not use a lot of technology, but since this is where the rest of society is heading, I refuse to drown in an ocean of technological advancements!

While reading the CSUSM Mission Statement, I liked the part about demonstrating a commitment to collaboration. I believe that it takes many people to figure out the best possible solutions and to get a job done well! I have recently found that when two or more people share their knowledge on a particular subject, educated decision making skills are at its highest peak! Collaboration was not a factor in my decision to apply to CSUSM, rather it was an experience that I learned  while attending this University and it has ignited a further desire to pursue my future endeavors at this location.
