I am a 2004 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I was a Journalism and Mass Communications major and an Information Systems minor. I entered the teaching field in 2006 after I had tried my hand at business ownership. I was a lateral entry teacher and finally cleared my license in July of 2010. I taught English at Hobbton High School in Sampson County, North Carolina for five years.
In the fall of 2012, I entered the Instructional Technology program at NCSU. On May 11th, 2013, I graduated with a Masters in Education. During my graduate program, I worked as a Graduate Assistant at NCSU School of Education and at DELTA (Distance Education Learning Technology Applications) as an online course reviewer using the Quality Matters program. Currently, I am an Instructional Technology Facilitator at a K-5 school in Harnett County. I look forward to working with all of you in this exciting course. We will explore new and emerging technologies to use for teaching writing.

"Where I Come From"
Sara Lee
4/28/2013
Where I come from,
Family reunions were just a day on the farm,
And everybody cropped tobacco,
Even an 8 year-old, who by 12, was known as “Watermelon Muscles”
Because she could load tractor trailers of that striped fruit with the rest of them,
And knew that picking 23 bushels of Six Weeks peas
Was better than 2 bushels of butterbeans any day.
Where I come from,
Quilting bees were “The Days of Our Lives”;
But never dare to poke from underneath quilts,
From sewing needles going up and down with thimbles on taped fingers,
And "you can get a toenail caught in that stitch!"
Where I come from,
We relied on made-up games, school supplies, and hand-me-downs;
From name-calling and I’m telling on you!
From mama doing her best and daddy trying real hard;
From family meetings where I tried to please everybody.
Where I come from,
Amazing Grace was the sweetest sound,
Primitive Baptists didn’t sing with music,
And associations were food gatherings, not groups.
Grandpa’s who did foot-washings were a dying breed,
Names like Alonzo, Lonnie, and Lena Pearl were popular,
And, double names were standard for Southern girls.
