#1: Intro. to Self

My name is Sydney Haack, I’m nineteen years old, and this is my second semester here at Dixie State.  I am from Grants Pass, a town in southern Oregon.  I've lived there my whole life with my family, my mom, dad, brothers Joshua, Eli, and my sister Mason.  Grants Pass was a nice place to grow up, but there isn't much opportunity there once you graduate high school and I was getting a bit stir crazy and was ready for some change so I decided to move out of state for school.  My mom’s parents and five siblings all live in the Orem, UT area.  They’re a super close knit family, so I always wanted to move to Utah eventually and this seemed like a good opportunity.  Dixie State was a pretty random choice for which school to go to, I thought about going to Utah Valley University to be close to family, but something about Dixie really stood out to be and felt right so I decided to go with it.  I’m a pretty reserved person and was really nervous to be moving by myself to a new state, to a new city and school where I did not know one person, but after one semester I can say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  I’ve met great people and have been enjoying the independence and different perspectives that being on my own gives me.
As of right now, my major is Elementary Education, but I haven’t completely decided whether or not that’s what I want to do.  I’m also considering secondary education to be a high school English teacher, or maybe go into social work.I am excited for this course and don't have any concerns about it right now. I have always loved making and looking at art.  I recently took a painting class but I've never taken any art history type of classes so I look forward to getting to dig a bit deeper this semester.
