Hello all! I am Brianna Galapir. I was born and raised in Coronado, California. where I attended a private school until we moved to Jacksonville, Florida until I was in 3rd grade. We than moved back to Sunny San Diego until I finished 6th grade. Just before starting my first year in middle school, my parents purchased another home in Murrieta, California. Not only was seventh grade my first year in the public school system, but it was also my first year in a middle school. I was nervous at first but found my way very shortly. After graduating from Thompson Middle School, I attended Murrieta Valley High School. In 2008, I graduated from MVHS and enrolled at CSUSM. I am majoring in Liberal Studies, with a minor in Psychology. I am now a Junior, and loving every second of my college years.
My experiences with technology are nowhere near the professional level. However, up until 7th grade, most of my classwork was done on MAC computers in the classroom. I've always had a love for computers, and I am great at trouble shooting, but you can never know too much about technology so, what better than to take a class on it?
From the time I declared my major as Liberal Studies, the importance of the CSUSM/COE mission statement has been ingrained into me. If I had to pick at any part of the mission statement, I would have to choose "Lifelong learning". You have a very limited amount of time with each student and making a positive impact on their lives, and helping them with things not only in the classroom, but creating tools for the realworld is absolutely essential to their lifelong learning.
