  • Moon Landing

    Moon Landing

    Neil Armstrong becomes first American to land on the moon. I am just a baby but I would want to become an astronaut too! I went to Purdue where he went and had an experiment on the U.S. Space Shuttle. Photo from Google.

    First Movie in a Theater

    My cousins took me and my twin sister when we were five to see our first movie in a theater, "Mary Poppins"! I love the impact the film can have. I want to create professional looking instructional videos. Photo from Google.
  • Macintosh Computer

    Macintosh Computer

    I got to use a Macintosh desktop computer at Purdue for my Desktop Publishing Class. I enjoyed creating advertising copy, covering the presidential election (Bush), using various fonts. Now I have an eye for instruction design for online courses. Photo from Google.
  • Smartphone

    Smartphone

    I graduated from a TracPhone to a smart phone in 2013 while working for RCBI in Bridgeport. I was giving a tour and promptly dropped it on the concrete floor. That is when I learned I needed to have bought a cover for it! Now I use my smartphone for just about everything! Photo by Google.
  • Television

    Television

    My twin sister came to visit me and had me buy a Roku Television. I had not had my own television during school because I was trying to save money and did not even have the Internet. Now I have that too! Photo from Google.
