Blog Assignment #1

Hi, everyone.  My name is Kathryn Buchanan, and I was born and raised in Mobile, AL.  I am now a junior at the University of South Alabama and am an elementary education major.  I am just starting out with my education classes.  I used to attend Auburn University but transferred here in the spring of 2009.   My personal interests include singing, reading, watching movies, and hanging out with my friends and family.  I am involved in the Chorale and new Show Choir at South Alabama and hope to become a vocal performance minor in the upcoming Spring semester.

My father owns a lumber company called Buchanan Lumber of Mobile that is located in downtown Mobile.  My mother is a stay at home mom, and my brother, Dickson, just recently graduated with a business degree from Birmingham-Southern College.  I am most passionate about singing.  I have been doing it my whole life and love it more than anything.  I plan to try to incorporate it into my classroom.  I want to enter the field of education because I believe it is hugely important, and I have a strong desire to help others in the learning process.  I'm so excited to be able to continue to get to know you all!
