About Myself

Hi, my name is Stephanie Hogue. My husband Bryant and I have been married for fifteen years. We met at my first job Edd’s Drive Inn. Edd’s is an old fashioned restaurant in Pascagoula Mississippi. We have two awesome daughters Brooke and Emily. Brooke is nineteen and Emily is six. They both sometimes feel like they are only children because of their age difference. I think they are lucky because they have each other and they both had all of my attention when they were little. I live in Moss Point Mississippi. I have lived in Mississippi nearly my entire life. My husband and I own a small restaurant in Pascagoula Mississippi called Kevin’s Korner. Kevin’s was originally a tasty freeze, and it has been here since 1959. If you are ever in the area you should definitely come by because the food is great. When we are not working or doing school work, we just spend time together as a family. We usually take walks, go for a bike ride, play board games, or read together. It doesn’t really matter what we are doing as long as we are together.
My major is Elementary Education. I am a transfer student from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. I was originally taking the two plus two program that would transfer to the University of Southern Mississippi. It actually took me three years to complete the first half, and by that time I had decided to transfer here to the University of South Alabama. It was a tough decision, but I am definitely glad to be here at USA. I have wanted to be a teacher nearly my whole life. My best friend and I would play school, and I always wanted to be the teacher. EDM310 is a little intimidating to me because I know so little about technology. Even though I am intimidated by this class, I am looking forward to learning how to use technology in order to be an effective teacher that can make a difference in the lives of children.

This video certainly has several aspects that pertain to me. I procrastinate mostly due to anxiety and fear of an assignment or project that I don’t understand. When a project seems too confusing or too large I tend to put it off until its absolute deadline. I don’t usually plan out my semester or week because I feel like once it is written it can’t be changed. It helped me to hear Dr. Pausch say that it is not concrete just because you wrote it down. It can still be changed, but the important thing is to have a plan.

I actually had never heard of Dr. Pausch. I looked his name up on google and learned that he was a wonderful man. He was very intelligent, motivated, and he made many great contributions. My heart goes out to his family for their loss.
