My name is Deborah Bedell and I am an English major with a minor in History. I am really passionate about school, it has shaped me into the person that I am today! In the future, I hope to become a college professor so that I can teach people how to tap into their creative sides and grow through language. I am really big into cultural studies, and I thoroughly enjoy exploring how art and literature ties into the world around us. I am hoping to become a better writer through this class, and to learn how to become a more creative individual.
I am currently a bartender, and though it has its ups and downs, I enjoy getting to know new people. My boyfriend is a soldier in the National Guard, and he is a big part of my life. He will be going to Iraq in February for a year, and I will miss him dearly! I am almost done with school, and I am trying to graduate by the time he gets back so we can start a life together. We are planning on going to Europe when he gets his two weeks of leave, and I am very excited; I have always been very interested in European culture! I love to write, bake, and do Kung Fu. I have been in Chi Ling Pai for 2 years; Participating in the martial arts was one of the best moves I have ever made in my life (besides starting school).
I am really looking forward to getting to know everybody! I look forward to reading your posts!

Training in the martial arts is definitely an exciting experience! I took Tae Kwon Do for many years but I only made it to the level right under a black belt. I plan to return to the practice one day in order to be able to say that I have a black belt! It was great getting to know you through this post!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to lead a really interesting life: bartending and martial arts! European culture fascinates me as well. I plan on going some time after I graduate.
ReplyDeleteI love bartenders! Maybe you could keep this blog going and tell us about your trip to Europe. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you have a minor in History. Learning martial arts seems like so much fun. Maybe you can show the class a demonstration.
ReplyDeleteI did martial arts for about 12 years before I came to college. It's a great way to keep in shape both physically and mentally. And I always wanted to be a bartender, so I salute you for that!
ReplyDeleteMy dad is big in to martial arts; he's a black belt in several different types, so I know how much of a lifestyle choice is can be sometimes. I tried it when I was younger, for two years, but after getting kicked in the face--I was done! I regret that sometimes.
ReplyDeleteAnd what places in Europe were you thinking about? I can personally suggest Italy, Turkey and Greece--beautiful places, with so much history.
Well i know to not to mess with you...LOL. That's really great that you have such a strong passion for school. Some people take it for granted and don't appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI like that you are very strong-minded and focused on school. I feel with that type of attitude you can withstand all obstacles.
ReplyDeleteYou seem be really tough. And organized. I think it's terrific how you put forth effort to learn about various peoples.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to have people of our age who are wanting to give back to others. I hope that you will be successful in your pursuit of becoming a professor and are able to positively mold the mind of those you teach.
