Introductions (Night Class)


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 of a past students post.

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.

  1. Hi, my name is Katrina. I'm 16, almost 17. I am currently a junior at Rosemount High School, and I'm enrolled in this class so that I can take care of my Economics credit to make room for a full schedule next year. I'm starting to look at colleges, since I definitely plan to continue my education. I have a part-time job at Lifetime Fitness and when I'm not working or studying, I spend my free time practicing my four instruments, swimming, snowboarding, reading, or volunteering.

    2. I volunteer with Special Olympics MN's swim and track teams, and I am also involved with National Charity League and my school's National Honor Society and National Spanish Honor Society, so those provide tons of volunteering opportunities :)

  2. Hello, my name is Mati Hanish. I am 17 years old. I currently live in Shakopee, but I attend the School of Environmental Studies. I am taking classes at Rahncliff because I am a junior who is planning to graduate this June. I have been accepted to the University of Texas for this fall and I plan to do my undergraduate for Marine Biology and then go to Veterinary school afterward. I am very passionate about animals. I volunteer at a place called Furever Wild where I work with hands on with Minnesota animals like cougars and wolves. Another interest of mine is photography. I actually have my own little business doing senior pictures, family pictures and weddings. My absolute favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. I have an older brother, Brent, who goes to school in Dallas, Texas and I have two younger sisters Macie (13) and Evelyn (9). As a family we enjoy boating, camping, and road trips. My favorite movies are the Fast and Furious movies and I play lacrosse. The last thing you should know is I absolutely, without a doubt hate winter. It is the worst thing,needless to say that is why I am escaping to Texas in the fall! Looking forward to have class with you this term.
