Your first assignment is a simple one! Introduce yourself to the class. If you have already made an introduction from a previous post add current updates to what is happening in your life and copy it onto this blog posting. I'm excited to meet some new people! Here is an example from a past student!
Hi, my name is Anonymous. I am 20 years old, about to turn 21 on March 19th. I have gone to many schools including Apple Valley High School, Lakeville South High School, Apple Valley ALC, DCALS and now, Rahncliff. I am 4 and half credits from my diploma. I should have my diploma by the end of this session and I am SO EXCITED. I’m looking forward to furthering my education. I’m planning on going to school for nursing. I hope to work as a psych nurse in a hospital, but I would also enjoy moving around and working in plenty of different areas as well. I currently work at Verizon Wireless in Shakopee and I have worked there for just under a year. I don’t hate it, but sales is DEFINITELY not where I plan on staying.

Hello I'm Dmitriy Sakovets, I'm 20 years old. I was born in Ukraine and lived there for 8 years. My hobbies are Mountain biking, skydiving, bmx, guitar, drums, piano, skateboarding and long boarding, hiking, traveling/road trips. I plan to go to college this fall and I want to go for radiational therapy. After that I really wanna live in new Zealand. This is my first ABE program that I have tried and so far its working out well I should hopefully be done by the end of this session. and Kyleigh is my bestest friend :)
ReplyDeleteDo you ever go back and visit Ukraine?
DeleteDoes the current situation in Ukraine worry you at?
DeleteThat's an interesting career choice, hope it works out well for you.
DeleteWow that's interesting! I wish I even Tried all of those activities! What was skydiving like?
DeleteWow that's interesting! I wish I even Tried all of those activities! What was skydiving like?
DeleteI'd want to go back to visit but I can't because they would force me to go to the army. The situation in Ukraine doesn't really worry me that much because I don't have any relatives in the area that its going on in.
DeleteThis is advice is from an actual radiation therapist.........You'll need a strong background science courses like anatomy and physiology. It's a great field and you have job security. The hours are also great for a health care position. Banker Hours. 9-5. How did you learn of this field.....just curious?
DeleteI honestly don't remember how I learned about this field but I always wanted to do something in the medical field and Radiational Therapy just stood out to me.
DeleteHey, My name is Cynthia Terrazas. I am 23 years old. I live in Minneapolis. I am a PCA worker. I recently received my certificate of citizenship, So after waiting for 5 years I finally was able to get my I.D. I came to Rahncliff to get my GED, but Laurie told me about this program. I was very excited, because I had no idea I could still get my diploma. I should be done after this session and I am planning on going to college to further my education.
ReplyDeleteWhat college do you pan to go to?
DeleteHow do you like being a pca? I have 3 autistic siblings so I know how much work and the type of personality it takes to do your job. I was also excited to learn that I was able to get my high school diploma instead of just the ged.
DeleteGlad to have you back Cynthia. Lets get you closer to your goals.

DeleteHello, My name is AJ Borman. I am 18 years old. When I went to school I went to Eagan High School, however I recently dropped out due to mental health issues. In my free time I generally spend time on the computer. On the computer I usually spend my time playing video games or listening to music. As for music preferences I enjoy punk and ska-punk. I also enjoy hockey, though I no longer play. Finally I enjoy spending time with friends both online and in person. I should be done after this session and am planning on eventually going to technical college.

DeleteHi, my name is Maia Seifert. I was born in California, but raised in Texas and Arizona. I'm 17 and my passions are drawing and dancing. I've been dancing since i was 5 years old and my favorite style is contemporary. After high school I'm thinking about going to cosmetology in Egan. My favorite type of music is rap and county ( complete opposites obviously ). My big dream is to move back to Arizona.
ReplyDeleteI have an uncle that lives in Arizona and a few cousins. I have been to Arizona three times and recently went on vacation there for spring break a few weeks ago. After college I will be moving down there to start my career and life. I love Arizona.

DeleteHey everybody, my name's Ryan Tuttle. Born and raised in Minnesota and I gotta say I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I come from a long line of military servicemen and hope to continue that tradition by enlisting in the Navy. I currently do odd landscaping jobs for people in my neighborhood and for family friends, and this crazy weather is not helping with that at all. I'd much rather be out in the world helping people and doing something more labor intensive versus staring at a computer screen sitting in a desk all day. That's a little bit about me and I hope to get a lot out of this class and be able to graduate!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome that you like to help people. I hope all your plans in life pan out.
DeleteJoining the Navy is a great way to see the world and gain insight to other cultures. One of my best friends was in the Navy and loved the experience.

I've been accepted into the PSEO program at Normandale community college, which I will be attending this fall for my senior year of high school.

I was involved in cross country and track there. I have a twin sister and an older brother. I work as a nanny for a little girl every evening and love it.

Hello my name is Hayley Olson. I am 17 years old soon to be 18, and i am here to make up credits that i missed from Rosemount High School, in the past i have also been to Coon Rapids Senior High, and Apple Valley ALC. Outside of school I am a home health aide, i work long hours taking care of the elderly. I am also apart of a youth group at Christ Church, and starting June i will be an Intern there. I am a very laid back person. In my spare time i like to relax and spend time with my friends. After i graduate, i will be going to college to become a nurse practitioner.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Hayley! Glad to see that you like your job. My Dad was a math teacher a C.R. High School maybe you had him?
DeleteThat is amazing strength you have to complete your education with your long work hours. Something to be proud of there is a lot of people who wouldn't put much time into this. Which say's a lot about who you are, and with that prescience you will go far in life and best part is you have Jesus in your life!!
DeleteI'm a British girl living in the States. Ray is my nickname since almost no one can say my name correctly. At the age 16 I don't do much other than listen to music, watch YouTubers, and crafts like painting and working with clay. I love WeTheKings, Sleeping With Sirens, Bring Me The Horizon, Skillet, and just about everything music. School has always been great for me but I no longer wish to go to Farmington High and am now looking for a good online school. So if you have any knowledge or opinions on a good site contact me, please. I plan on going into Veterinarian Science. I have already worked at a Vet-Hospital. I would love to be able to go back to Wales and my family's farms. SOON I will be out of this country!
ReplyDeleteRhiannon welcome to class. Sorry to hear Farmington did not work out for you. Hope this program meets your needs and glad to hear you have a plan for your career.
DeleteHI my name is Anthony Warweg. I go by Tony too but which you call me by is up to you. I’m a senior from Rosemount High School and the reason I’m here is to get my social studies and English credits. Before here I took classes at Inver too through the PSEO program but the classes were too difficult for me at the time so…. Surprise. I’m here! For interests, I constantly have music playing when I’m not busy and most into indie and the folk-like genre,. Anything but cultural, rap, or metal is cool with me, and sometimes the occasional days where country twang just really annoys me! I’m a big fan of dogs over cats. I’m a super big fan of netflixing. Breaking Bad, Parks & Rec, Scrubs, The Office, and How I Met Your Mother are my favorites. TV is cool but I enjoy reading even more because I just feel better afterwards. I’m into making new foods at home because it’s really cool to make new things, and better yet things you can eat. :D I live in Apple Valley and work at Wendy’s. For school, my least favorite subject is probably English while Philosophy & Psychology are fascinating to me. I don’t know what else to go on about… I’m pretty easy to get along with and won’t bite?
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you back Anthony. Good to know that you got your biting disorder back under control!
DeleteHi, my name is Lauren Topor. I'm 16 years old and I was born in Minnesota. I live in Inver Grove Heights with my parents and my younger sister Britney. I usually attend Rosemount High School. My hobbies are playing hockey and lacrosse, hanging out with friends, watching hockey as much as I can, and reading. This is the first class I've taken at ABE and I will probably be done at the end of this session. After high school, I plan to go to college for sports medicine. I'm not sure where I want to go yet but I'd love to play hockey in college.
ReplyDeleteLauren glad to hear your planning to finish up school with us. Better hit the gym if you wanna play college athletics its whole new level! Good luck!
