All About Me!

Hey! My name is Amy Hudson and I am originally from Franklin, Ohio. It's a small town halfway between Cincinnati and Dayton.  I attend Ohio University where I am a senior there and will graduate in June of 2003.I am majoring in Middle Childhood Education with concentrations in Mathematics and Language Arts.  I am currently working with Bill Elasky at Federal Hocking Middle School in a seventh grade mathematics class.  All the extra student teaching and classroom experience I have is thanks to the C.A.R.E. program.  It has given me a great opportunity to gave valuable experience in teaching that will only make me more marketable to the democratic school of my choice.

 The purpose of this web site is to learn a little about me, I suppose. I have several links on here that are interesting to visit. I also wanted to put my resume, job experience, references, and even a webquest I designed for my students on the web site so that people visiting could get a feel for what I enjoy doing.

YMCA

Over the summer of 2002, I worked for the Dayton West YMCA Summer Day Camp. We had so much fun at the Possum Creek Reserve Site.  We played numerous games, made crafts, and even had a few water balloon fights. The summer was an interesting one. I learned more about myself that summer than I had in the past four years at college. I made some new friends. I miss Erica the most! The kids were great, too, with a few minor problems here and there. Little Carlton was hilarious! Check out some of these pictures of the greatest summer I have ever had!

This is a picture of two of our counselors, Roc and Coach V, in one of our numerous water fights! Coach V hated getting wet!

 

Look at this lovely picture of Jim, our camp director, all wet! We had been playing in Englewood at Centennial Park, and Jim went swimming with all his clothes on! All the counselors loved the water!
 
 

Almost of all this summer's counselors at the YMCA Day Camp Olympics.  From left to right: me, Kobi, Roc, Coach V, Erica, and our bus driver is kneeling. We all wore bandanas along with the kids to show the the West YMCA was the best Day Camp! THe Olympics was a fun filled, but hot afternoon. The kids has a great time competing against other YMCAs in the Greater Dayton area.

This was by far the best friend I made over the summer. I miss our talks about the boys and all the new ideas we learned this summer. We grew so much as people. This is a picture of me and Erica, sitting with one of our favorite campers, Charnelle. Charnelle was a twin, whose brother's name was Charles. The three of us are taking some time out to relax while at Centennial Park in Englewood.

Special Thanks

I would like to say a special thank you to my professor, Tim Vickers. I had never imagined I would ever create a web page myself.  After taking his class, I am interested in the technology aspect of education so much more.  I enjoy updating my web page and will continue to do so even after graduation.  He has taught me so much and have a genuine passion for educating his students. He is a democratic educator and would be a fantastic addition to the C.A.R.E. faculty. In the future, I can only hope that I educate my students as well as him.
