A little bit of history about me
My name is Tatijana but everyone calls me tati. I was born in Long Island NY but I currently live in Elizabeth City NC. I have been here for most of my life as far back as I can remember anyway. I am a mother of just had my second daughter in December. I love watching game shows, shopping, spending time with my daughter, and reading. Any chance I get to read I do. I usually do that when my daughter goes to sleep. I love the city I live in but when I say I am beyond to try something new I mean that. I have never taken online classes, so this is extremely new to me. It may take me a lot longer than others to find my way through the class, but it won’t take me long to learn. I am currently enrolled at APUS getting my bachelor’s degree in human development and Family Studies. Currently my goal is to be a child’s counselor or child advocate anything that helps children is what I want to do. The most challenging thing for me as far as online learning goes is going to by my time management between work my children and school. I hope to overcome this challenge by asking for help when needed. I am so used to doing it all myself so asking for help is hard for me. My mom is here with me now so it should not be hard managing my children and work. My mom passed away from stage four cancer in April of this year. So now I have to step up and be the parent for all of my siblings as well as my children.
