About me

Hi, I'm Ali Coombs. I'm a full time student at San Diego State University and am majoring in Social Science. I will be graduating within a year and then will go on to get my teaching credential and then teach high school. I hope to teach world or American history. I had a really great world history teacher, who somewhat inspired me to be a teacher myself. Maybe I will be able to do that myself someday. I've always been really interested in history, and even as a child enjoyed watching documentaries and roaming around museums the most. Maybe, eventually, I will go back to school to get my masters and doctorate -it would be really fun to teach at a university - but right now I want to see what it's like to teach high school. I also really enjoy traveling, although I haven't been as many places as I would like. Being able to travel was a big consideration when I chose my career and I hope to at least take one vacation every year. I also am really into the arts and crafts. I have been drawing and painting from a very young age and later started doing ceramics and mixed media. It would be nice to be able to finish an art project someday.
Well, that's it for now.
