Day 1

Hello, everyone! As I mentioned earlier this evening during my introduction, my name is Jennifer Wingard, but most people call me Jen or Red. I’m a 27 year-old stay at home mom with four kids who range in age from 6 years to almost 2 years. Although my family is my primary focus (mostly due to the fact that they take up almost every second of my time) , I have a lot of other responsibilities and interests as well. I enjoy a bit of gardening, cooking, and I love to read. I can generally be found studying something or other in any free moment that I'm not involved with a family activity.
I’ve always had a keen interest in writing, and still dream of writing the “Great American Novel”, however, a couple of years ago during a blogging frenzy, I stumbled upon web design quite by accident and the writing dream has since been moved to second place. I do still try to write on occasion, but most of my spare time has been eaten up with my obsession for poring over books on web design and trying to make sense of them.
I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to come to college and learn about web design and get a degree. This new experience will quite probably be more like a vacation for me than anything else. I’m really looking forward to all that I’ll learn here at school, but also, I'm glad for the chance to do some networking while fulfilling a high-priority personal goal of getting a bachelor's degree.
