About Me

Hmm, where should I begin? Well, my name is April Crum and I am from Vancleave, MS. I am majoring in Elementary Education with hopes to teach the third or fourth grade. I come from a very blessed family and I don't know what I would do without them. They support me no matter what I choose to do. I have  an amazing boyfriend, Robert. He is truly my best friend and he is always motivating me to do my best. We have a blast no matter what we do, and I think that is important. My friends are one of a kind and dependable. They are always there when I need them. I have a Maltese named Lily and she is my heart and soul. Music keeps me sane. I listen to all genres, except for that scream-o nonsense. I'm a book nerd and I tend to get lost in whatever I am reading. I am a homebody, so I enjoy staying in and watching movies or playing games. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the outdoors, too! Well, that pretty much sums up "me"!


Randy Pausch on Time Management:

I have struggled with time management in the past. "Failing to plan is planning to fail"--GENIUS! He recommended a To-Do list, but breaking them down into small steps and do the ugliest thing first. That makes sense. Why not go ahead and get the most undesirable task out of the way? It'll make your remaining tasks easier to achieve. He also mentions that you can't fake experience. We tend to trust those who have more experience in different areas. Also, having a plan is key. It is good to decide what needs to be completed immediately and what can wait until later on in the week, month, or semester. I had never heard of Randy Pausch before this assignment, but I could tell he was lecturing on something he was passionate about and was familiar with.
