My Birth
At this time my parents already had a desktop computer but it was not connected to the internet. It was just used as a typewriter and for preprogramed games.

AIM
The desktop computer was used to communicate with friends through AIM. I remember how exciting it was to have communicate in real time with my friends through the internet. -
iPod Nano
My sister and I got an iPod nano to listen to music for Christmas. I remember being so excited that we did not have to use a CD player to listen to music. This sparked a love for multiple genres of music. Photo courtesy by pixabay.com -
First Cellphone
My parents let me get my first cellphone when I reached high school so that I could keep in touch with them for after school extracurricular activities. This created a avenue to easily communicate with friends and family. Photo courtesy by Odyssey.com. -
Social Media- Facebook
I resisted social media for awhile but I ended up making a Facebook page at this time. Since then Facebook has been used as a tool to communicate with church, undergraduate school, and my work place. Photo courtesy by pixabay.com. -

Graduate school online
I started graduate school for my masters in nursing education at the beginning of 2023. This program is 100% online and this format feels second nature to me.
