All+About+Me

Hello everyone my name is Jessica De Vore and well to start off I live in Corvallis and been here since 2005. I am originally from Pendleton, OR. I moved to Corvallis for school at Oregon State and was a math major but I got really bored with it. I took a break from school for a few months and I started back up at Linn Benton CC in Albany where I switched to Child and Family Studies/Education.I received my Associates back in June and decided part way into summer to continue my education with SOU. In school I am studying to get my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education and I hope to graduate in a year. My passion for working with children goes deep because every day is different and you never know what to expect. There may be some ups and downs but that is a part of life. Only thing we can do is to learn from one another and grow into a supportive community. I love working with children and its never boring. Everyday is different and you never know what to expect.

I'm also a waitress/bartender to help put myself through school as well as I am a substitute teacher at Periwinkle Child Development Center. I work with children between toddlers- kindergarten. I hope to be finished with school within the next year and then I can continue my journey into teaching. I love to read and my favorite series would have to Harry Potter.Im a huge Harry Potter fan and I dislike Twilight. A new series I started is the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. I also like to read stories about the variety of people lives they go through like Dave Pelzer. I also love to sew, crochet, cook/bake, and photography.

My goals in life is to someday travel to Italy to experience the culture they have to offer. I also want to continue some of the traditions that my great grandparents has shared with me during my childhood. Also I want to share my experiences with others. In teaching I want to establish a community with the families and students so we can have a supportive learning environment for everyone.
