Jeneva Horn Intro Letter
I was born July 2, 1985 to John and Kerry Horn. I was an only child for the first five years of my life until April 21, 1990 when my brother Dylan was born. I attended public school from Kindergarten through high school in San Diego, more specifically, La Jolla and choose Cal State San Marcos over the other schools I was accepted to because of their teaching program and the smaller size of the student body. I moved out of my parent’s house and into an apartment with two of my friends after my first year of college. The picture is of me and my dog Bruiser, I love this picture because he has the funniest look in his eyes!
I can still remember the day when my dad and went out and bought out first computer. Technology plays a huge role in my life, even though I’m 21 I can’t remember my life without computers, or cell phones. I got my first computer when I was 7 and my first cell phone when I was 13 and have had them at my side ever since. My dad works in the computer business so even though there are only four people in my family we have 5 Macs, so I am definitely a Mac person.
The most powerful part of the mission statement to me is not a phrase but the word diversity. It was used twice in the mission statement, and I think that no matter what, when you want to be an educator you must embrace diversity and welcome it in your classroom. No two people are exactly the same and being able to allow children to open their minds and learn about the differences in the would will help shape our future so that, hopefully one day people will not discriminate by what they see on the outside, but by what really matters.
