Blog #1

    My name is Erin Elizabeth Tillman.  I grew up in Theodore, Alabama, and am currently residing at the Grove.  I am attending the University of South Alabama because it is close to home.  My family is my life.  I have one brother and fifteen cousins, of which twelve are male.  Obviously, most of my family consist of boys. 
    My major is Elementary Education.  My grandmother and three aunts are in the field of Education.  That's where the inspiration came from.  They love their jobs, and say they wouldn't trade it for the world.  They always tell me there is never a dull moment in the classroom.
    I grew up fishing most of my childhood with my Dad and brother.  I consider that a true passion.  During the winter season, I love to hunt with my Dad at our hunting camp.  Hunting is a hobby, but fishing will always be a passion.  It has become a stress reliever more than anything since I began my college career. 
     I plan to graduate in the Fall of 2012 if everything goes smoothly.  I would love to teach here in Mobile, but am more than willing to move if necessary.  I do believe, along with fishing, teaching will one day become a passion.
