Hi there, so glad you're here! My name is Martha Pina (Pina actually means Pineapple in Spanish!) Although I'm not a teacher (yet..Eeek!) I'm hoping to have my own classroom next year. I am scheduled to graduate from Texas State University in May of 2018 with a bachelor's in Interdisciplinary Studies & I am currently an intern near San Marcos. I am so excited to finally be interning in a school where I'll be seeing my classroom twice a week all semester!
Although I live in San Marcos, I am originally from the Rio Grande Valley. I have been there all my life and if i'm being honest, the two greatest things people love back home are food and family. I'm not really complaining because for me, those are right on top of my list. My family is my greatest treasure. Along with my parents, I have four brothers, three sister in laws and FIVE nieces and nephews! Can you believe that?! Holidays are such a blast and I love sitting around the Christmas tree with some of the best people on earth.
Teaching has always been my greatest passion. I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I could play with dolls. There are moments in my life where I distinctly remember teaching my dolls while I was pretending to be up in the front teaching them a lesson. Fast forward 15 years later and I'm now teaching REAL humans. Crazy how life has a funny way of working. I feel beyond blessed that not only do I have a dream that gives back to society, but I am actually living it out!
For now, you can find me floating around the San Marcos River or hanging out and shopping at the outlets. When I'm not here, I love driving back home and visiting my family. It makes my weekends that much more fun. I'm not quite an adult yet, so some weekends you might find me in my Pj's eating cake and watching movies all day. Other days, I'm stuck at a coffee shop doing homework all day. Nonetheless, I get up, show up and work up. I hope you've enjoyed your stay in my blog. If you're a college student pursuing to be a teacher too, let's be friends & if you're a teacher already, feel free to give me pointers. All is welcome here!
With love,
Martha Pina
