Hi I'm Corinne
I am a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a newly certified teacher. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am, first and foremost, a wife and mother. I have been fortunate to be able to stay home and raise my kids, but in recent years, as the kids have grown up, I have felt a yearning to find another way to make a difference in this world. I have always had a passion for learning, and decided to take the steps to make a long-held dream come true. I recently finished graduate school and am now a licensed teacher. I also love to run, or, if I am really calling it what it is, I love to jog. Rain or shine, sunshine or snow, I try to get out. Of course, having a dog that needs to get out helps on those bitter cold mornings. My morning runs are my "me" time -- I plan my day, work out problems or concerns, pray, listen to podcasts on my ipod. This is my time to recharge, to take a deep breath, to remind myself of my many blessings. I always come home grateful for the many good things in my life.
Why I am a Mormon
I am a Mormon because I can't imagine my life any other way. The gospel is a part of everything I do, every decision I make, everything I say. I simply cannot imagine life without the truths that I have come to know and love. I am so grateful to have the guidance and direction of the Lord in every facet of my life. I can receive personal revelation in everything I do. My husband and I get the guidance we need to help our children become responsible, caring adults. I get immediate answers to heartfelt pleas as I try to do the right things for the students in my classroom. I can obtain peace when the load seems too heavy to bear. In short, I am who I am because I am a Mormon.
How I live my faith
I serve in my local congregation in many ways. I have worked with the younger children, I have worked with the youth, and I am currently serving in the women's organization. I also try to volunteer when possible; in the past my family and I have provided meals once a month for a local shelter for children, as well as service at a battered women's shelter. I teach at a diverse school, working with children who are having difficulty with some of the fundamentals of reading and math. I support my children in the many activities they are involved with, both at school and in the community.
