Hello my name is Zareen and I am 20years old. The meaning of my name makes me interesting I’d say. I grew up knowing my name means precious in Arabic but I recently found out it means golden in Persian. After doing some research I also recently found that my name means gold, the sparkling on, the one who shimmers, is funny, intelligent, kind hearted and is well respected in Iranian, which I found interesting because I would describe myself using these adjectives also. I am a proud Leo born in August. The fire of a Leo is brilliant and intense. It’s sort of like the summer Sun that relentlessly shows up every day, bursting with a bright and shining light.
I am currently a junior at Montclair State University. I'm a Family and Child Studies major with a Concentration in grades K-5. I chose this major because I love working with children. Back in high school, I volunteered to work in an elementary school called Watsessing Elementary School in Bloomfield and really enjoyed working with the children. I also did volunteer work at UNC Hospital in North Carolina. I worked as an assistant in the speech pathology department. I got the chance to work with children with speech impediments, autism, down syndrome, and brain injuries. I feel children are the future and I get a sense of satisfaction when I know that I contributed something valuable in a child's life.
I’ve been working at a pre-school in Clifton for the past 2summers and thoroughly enjoyed it. During my semesters I have visited to check on the students and help out when I can and I also did my field work there for their pre-school year and was able to decorate a few teacher’s classrooms in my own way and get an idea of how it will be in the future when I have my own classroom. My career plans currently are to become an elementary school teacher and to come back to college for either a Masters in Special Education or in School Psychology. I do plan to marry but not until I have finished college and I am comfortably in my future career. I don’t see myself traveling the world because of my fear of heights on planes. I have two sisters and one brother. I have one cat and her name is Boo Boo Kitty. My parents are divorced and both are still living. One activity that I enjoy doing with my family is going apple picking once a year.
One of the funniest things that ever happened to me occurred when i was in the fourth grade. I attended catholic school and we had gym every Thursday. I accidentally left all my sneakers at my mom’s house and had no sneakers to wear for gym being that I was at my dad’s house. My dad made me put on his size 15 sneaker, when I at the time was only a size 6. The kids in my fourth grade class laughed at me and called me duck feet throughout that whole day. When I was younger I cried because I felt so embarrassed, but now that I'm older I just look back an laugh at this incident.
One topic that interest me from the syllabus, is the role of gender in families because I would like to learn more about male and female work an why at some jobs men are getting paid more than women for the same labor.
Wiki’s are so far kind of confusing, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. I had Dr. Gager in my freshman year and I still needed guidance on how the Wiki’s work again. The main thing I learned from the video was the three main components in using wiki which are edit, save and link. I also learned that wiki’s help to coordinate work more easily.
