About me

Who am I: Jennifer Leigh Wilson

Birthday: April 25, 1980

Family: I live with my Mom, Dad, and older brother Brad in the same house I was brought home from the hospital to.

Pets: For my 8th birthday I got my cat- PJ (Punkin Jaws) who is getting old and cranky but still lovable. For Christmas in 1995 Brad got a dog- Chrissy (Christina Noel) a lab/schnauzer miz.

Home Town: I grew up in Auburn, Indiana which is famous for one thing- the Auburn Cord Duesenburg Museum and the ACD Festival at Kruse Auction Park held every Labor Day.

High School: I graduated with honors from DeKalb High School in 1998. In high school I was a band geek invloved in Marching Band, Pep Band, Musical Pit Band, Jazz Band, and Symphony Band where I played the clarinet. I was also a member of National Honor Society, Spanish Club, Future Educators in Action, Student Council, and a D.A.R.E. Role Model.

College: I am currently a sophomore at Ball State University. I was admitted with Disctinction into the Honor's College. I picked BSU because it was originally a Teacher's College and is still one of the best teaching colleges in the country. I am majoring in Elementary Education with a concentration in Language Arts. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts and hope to graduate from the Honor's College.

Clubs/Activities: I am a member of Excellence in Leadership, Education in Action, and Alpha Lambda Delta Freshman Honor's Society. I received Dean's List Honors my freshman year and was invited into ALD. I continue to play the clarinet in the BSU Pride of Mid-America Marching Band, Concert Band, and Symphony Band.

Work: I have worked at the Auburn Ponderosa since I was 15 and still work there while I am at home over school breaks. The summer of 1999 I was a Scab (a.k.a. I crossed a picket line) and worked at the Auburn Foundry. The summer before I also worked at the Foundry. Currently I am employed by Ball State University. I work as a tutor and test proctor in the Learning Center here on campus.

This was taken the first day of school my sophomore year at BSU.

Some of my favorites include...

The Beatles! The Fab Four take up a lot of room in my CD collection. The Monkees, the Turtles, The Mamas and the Papas, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynrd, the Eagles, Steve Miller Band, and Three Dog Night also hold their own in my collection. As you can see my taste ranges from oldies to classic rock and I also like classical.

My favorite storybook characters include Curious George and Winnie the Pooh and his gang. I like anything bright and colorful and fun. My bedroom walls are adorned with fish swimming across the walls.

I love to read and to watch movies. My favorite novel would be Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind. I also love Louis Lowry's The Giver. My favorite movies include Disney movies, The Princess Bride, Dirty Dancing, Psycho, Patch Adams, The Goonies, The Money Pit, Top Gun, and too many others too list.
