About me

Hello! My name is Colleen and I am a senior at Drake.  I will be student teaching in the spring and am very excited! My endorsements are in English/Literature, Theater/Speech, and Reading.  I am from Peoria, IL which is four hours from Des Moines.  After I graduate in May, I would love to start teaching in the classroom, either in Des Moines, Peoria, or at least somewhere in the midwest!
I did a quick online search about Dean Kamen to learn more about him.  I had a FIRST team founded at my high school my junior year and their numbers grew rapidly.  Many of the students on the team went on to major in engineering, premed, or other science degrees.  I believe that we were named after Dean Kamen because he wanted to get students interested in science and get them motivated- hopefully to the point of pursuing a degree in science in their higher education.  His many inventions have also been great additions to society and he encourages others to use their creativity and higher level thinking.
