About Me
My name is Erin May, I grew up in Hurley, MS. I lived there until this past year. I now live in Mobile, AL. I attended East Central High School, and graduated in May of 2002. After high school I decided to start working full time. I eventually started working at The Learning Tree; which is a residential school for children with special needs. I have an older brother who was diagonsed with Autism at the age of 3. He was a resident at The Learnig Tree for 14 years. After working there for 3 years I decided that I wanted to go back to school to teach Special Education. I attended Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, where I obtained an Associates degree. I transferred this Fall to USA as an Elementary Education major. I chose to attend USA, so that I could stay close to my mother.
I am passionate about helping others who are in need. My dream is to have a preschool for children with special needs. I have seen first hand how important it is for a child with any mental disability to receive early intervention. I would like to attend Auburn University to obtain my Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. I am currently working part time at Hampton Inn as a Front Desk Supervisor. I like to enjoy my time away from work and school by taking my dog to the park, and spending time with friends and family. I have a nine month old Yorkie/Schnauzer mix named Jax.
Time Management
The time management video that was presented by Randy Pausch made me realize all the things that I have been doing wrong, such as waiting to the last minute to get things done, not making a "to do" list, and that I am making things harder on myself. The main thing that stood out to me was " Failing to plan is planning to fail." I now realize that to be successful in anything I have to have a plan. I also have to have a check list to make sure that I didn't forget anything. I always seen to put the hardest thing off till last minute and rush to get everything completed on time. It seems like it would be much easier to get the hard part out of the way first.
