Hi, my name is Cynthia Wilson, but I prefer to be called Cindy. I live in Baxter, Kentucky and teach at Harlan Elementary School. I have been teaching for 12 years, with most of that time being at 4th grade. I am still currently teaching 4th graders and believe that is where the Lord meant for me to be. I definitely prefer the older elementary children, and know for sure that I was not called to be a Kindergarten or 1st grade teacher. I teach in a self-contained classroom, so therefore I teach all areas. However, if I could only teach reading, writing, and language arts all day, that would be wonderful. I feel most comfortable with these areas now, as I did when I was actually in school. I am currently working on my 2nd Master's in Reading and Writing Specialist, which will fulfill the requirements for my Rank I degree. I have no desire to work in administration, so I am pursuing this area in order to hopefully become a curriculum coach or educatioal presenter at some point. I also think of possibly teaching at the college level someday.
I am a single-mom to a wonderful young man. My son is 14 years old and a freshman this year. He enjoys baseball, so that will definitely keep me busy come spring. In my spare time, which I don't have much of right now, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, watching Criminal Minds, and working within my church. I love to read all kinds of books, especially by Nicholas Sparks and Jodi Picoult. I also love to read books that my students could enjoy as well, and often find myself buying those type books instead of others. I also love to spend time outdoors, either just sitting on my back porch or taking nice walks. I love living in the mountains.
My son and I also have four dogs and one cat that keep us busy. He wasn't blessed with human brothers and sisters, but he sure was with animal ones. We are very fortunate to have these little ones in our lives. I don't know if we would know what to do without pets being part of our lives.
