About me!

My name is Jasmine Stevens. I am 20 years old but I will be celebrating my 21st birthday this year! I was born in Virginia, thanks to my parents being in the navy. Even though I was born in Virginia, I have spent the majority of my life living in Mobile, Alabama. My mother is from Pennsylvania, and my father was from Mobile which lead us here. I only have one sibling, which is my younger sister Breana. My mother graduated from the University of South Alabama about 3 years ago, majoring in social work. My father died when I was 10 years old from a motorcycle accident. Since my father’s death it has been us 3 girls living at home.

 I graduated from W.P. Davidson High School in 2009. After high school graduation I went to further my education immediately. This is my second semester at South Alabama. I recently transferred here from the University of Alabama. When I left UA I honestly was forced to come to South Alabama! I am majoring in Elementary Education. My plans after graduation consist of joining the military or becoming a kindergarten teacher. My major interest are shopping, shopping, and shopping. I love anything that involves shopping or design. Something that I find interesting about myself is that I’m left-handed. I find left-handed people interesting because of the very few that are in the world.

Summary on Time Management
Randy Pausch’s video on time management was helpful in many ways. The main idea that I connected to in the video was asking yourself “why” you are completing a task.  The questions of why and what would happen if I didn’t complete these task are very important. If you ask yourself these questions I believe a person’s motivation to complete task would increase. When you know the importance of completing something you tend to want to complete it in a orderly fashion.
