All about me!

Howdy! My name is Haley Cone I a 18 years old and I just graduated from La Vernia High school. I come from a small town that’s about 30 minutes southeast of San Antonio. Funny thing about my small town we have more students enrolled in the school district than we do have in the city population. During High school, I was very active inside and outside of school. I was a student athletic trainer, a member of FCA (Fellowship of Christin Athletes), and I was also a member of the La Vernia FFA Chapter. Outside of school I was a member of Texas 4-H where I have held various offices, showed livestock such as poultry, swine, and cattle, and competed on my county’s poultry judging team. 
I have some very important people in my life such as my mom, dad, younger brother, and all my other family. All my friends and family hold a special place in my heart. They are all very important to me and somehow influenced my life in some way. I also have 4 dogs Beaux Jackson, Rusty Rue, Dixie Lue, and Baxter Lee. Dixie came up to live with me in College Station. Her brother Rusty got really depressed so that’s when my parents decided to expand the family and adopt Baxter. I love everyone and my dogs so much, they all have a special place in my heart. 
            My future goal is to ultimately be really successful in my career. I am majoring in Ag Communications and I either want to be a Journalist in the Agriculture industry or get my teaching certification and tech K-6 Grade. Once I get my basics done at Binn I plan on attending Texas A&M University and there Graduate with my Bachelor’s. I also have another plan once I obtain my degree, I want to get my teaching certification to tech K-6thgrade. In addition to getting my degree and certification, I would also like to go to culinary school. I believe with these three things I’ll be okay in the future. 
            A lot of what some people don’t know about me is that I am a clean/germ freak. I absolutely cannot stand the sight of a mess, to as little as an unmade bed to not touching a door handle, I hate a mess and I hate germs. Furthermore, I also clean and organize stuff when I’m stressed. My room or house can be as clean as it could be and I could find something to do in it. I don’t deal with stress well so I found my coping method for stress is to clean and organize. In conjunction with my cleaning/ organizing OCD, I absolutely hate going to public places where I have to touch a door handle or touch anything with my bare hands. I will use the bottom of my shirt to touch it or find something else other than my bare skin.
Some cool facts about me; while I was very active in and outside of school, I served as a rodeo queen. I got be a role model for children of all ages. I got to ride my horse into the San Antonio Rodeo and participate in being a SALE (San Antonio Live Stock Exposition) queen. I also love to bake. Baking has been my passion since my great grandmothers passed away and left me with their recipes that they created. During the holiday season, I will bake and sell my goods for just some cash to buy my loved ones their presents.

Blog 10- Intellectual and Personal skills that I have learned this semester

This semester has gone by so fast, this year has gone by so fast. Just a few months I was a high school student about to graduate. Now I’m a college student entering my last few weeks of my first semester. I have learned a lot of new techniques in the class room this semester such as how to take some quality notes, and communication between my professors. These were two things that I thought I knew but until college I proved myself wrong. I had always taken classes in high school that were supposed to help me in college, but it wasn’t until I was actually in college that I actually saw how these techniques were to help me. In my Learning Frameworks/EDUC- 1300 I actually took what I learned and used A LOT of it in. my everyday life. Communicating with my professors was another thing that was very difficult for me. In high school I would stay after class and talk to my teacher or I would go in before/after school and talk to them. With college professors it was very hard for me to manag...

History of the Macy Thanksgiving Parade

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and my favorite tradition is to t urn the T.V on to the Macys Thanksgiving Parade and start getting ready for a day full. I love to see all the different kind of floats, bands, marches, and just the energy of the parade gets me so excited and ready to kick start the holidays. The parade wasn’t originally sponsored by Macys but by the Philadelphia’s Gimbel Brothers General Store. According to The History channel  The First Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and Fobes The Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade 2016 By the Numbers ,”  the parade started out with 50 people, 15 cars, and firemen dressed as Santa Clause.” Who knew that just under 100 years of having the parade that there are now 26 floats, 8,000 participants, and 19 music acts.  The parade has evolved so much over the years and continues to grow. The parade contains so much history and hold so many traditions that I hope last for many more year. I know that I grew up watching the pa...

Difficult times

Maria’s children (her third-grade students) lives are similar to Marias because the come from the same background she comes from. They are different because even though they work in the fields they don’t move and work as hard as what Maria had to as a child. Her children are not afraid to sit up in the front of the class and participate in class, as for Maria she always sat in the back and wanted to go unnoticed. Maria states that “She understands what these children are going through because she was once like them.” She also says, “But unlike me, they will never do more than travel the country picking crops.” She understands that when the crops out of from being picked that they have to pack up and go to the next place. They do not have to go through the abuse her and her family went through. Maria now knows the signs if a child is being abused because she was once in the position. She really connects with her children because she was once that child who hoped around from school to s...
