Fall Of 2008

My name is Heather Olguin and I am currently going to UNM full time and working on getting my Bachelors of Science.  This is my first semester going to UNM and I am going to be spending a lot of time in the schools.  I am excited to have the opportunity to actually go into the classrooms and see other teachers at work.   I have wanted to become a teacher as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, I got off track for a littly while, but I am back and working very hard to finish my education.  I am married and have a thirteen year old daughter and a two year old son.  I am a stay at home mom, but that is a job all in itself.
