Hello to everyone! My name, as many of you already know, is Jordan. I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I'm a Phase III student, and am a part of the Service theme. However, I think all themes are important. I'm studying Special Education, and I aspire to work with children with autism.
I follow a people first disability. Meaning, I will refer to someone as so-and-so with autism. I feel a disability should not define a person. A person is so much more than their disability. This is also a good way to accept people.
I like to hike. I'm not very good, and I've only just picked it up again, but it is exhilarating when I summit the mountain. I like to sign. I like learning new languages in general. I have taught myself how to say hello in several languages. I've been taking Spanish since I was three, and ever since my sophomore year, I have been self-teaching and practicing. I've also taken Portuguese, Italian, and American Sign Language.
I really enjoy music. I will listen to just about any genre of music. I'm really open to listening to any type of music....except for rap...I'm not the biggest fan of rap.
I really enjoy reading. I am currently reading Dracula. I am really enjoying it and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet.
That's about it for me, I'm really looking forward to this semester and being a TA for this class! :)
