A little bit about myself
My name is Nazanine Mahdavi and I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and lived there until I was about five years old. My dad got a job at SDSU to teach world history so that was when we packed everything up and moved from Wisconsin to sunny California which actually worked out pretty well because we were tired of dealing with the cold weather. I went to two elementary schools but finished up at Lake Elementary School and continued next door at Madison Middle School located in Oceanside. I then went to Rancho Buena Vista High School and graduated there in 2003. I transfered from Palomar up to Cal State Northridge in Los Angeles. As much as I like big cities, it just wasn't the same as San Diego. I stuck it out though in the hot valley and graduated in December with an English Literature degree. I did a complete turn from English and am now getting my masters in Speech Pathology and I couldn't be happier. I fell in love with the communicative science and disorders program and am looking forward to working with little kids in the near future.
Dealing with technology has been quite an experience hah. I am happy to say I have grown greatly but still consider myself to be a bit on the technologically challenged side. I used to have a Mac when I was younger and then when the PC's sweptthe nation I jumped in and got one. I have since then been using a PC so the new MACs are still very new to me and a bit confusing to grasp but I am looking forward to learning on it. Even though I may have a hard time sometimes with technology I still would be lost without it. I use so much technology that when I have been without one or the other (phone/computer) and I feel as if I am cut off from the world which I can't stand. I use the old Microsoft office which would be I guess 03 and I have seen 07 and it is such a drastic difference I know that I will run in to quite a bit of confusion along the way of transition.
The mission statement of the CSUSM/COE is something that brings hope and possibilities to students which makes the idea of getting an education within reach. I feel that with all of the diverse courses offered, students are able to expand beyond the restrictions of education that may be taught in some schools and therefore learn more about topics such as technology that will better prepare the world for any future advances. Also, being able to have smaller classrooms have made such a difference in learning and have helped students achieve their goals better as I have experienced myself.
