MY LIFE

• By Kristen Hoepfner

Background

• I was born September 25, 1987
• I grew up in Weston, FL (a suburb of Ft.
  Lauderdale) but my family now lives in Columbus,
  OH.
• In five years hopefully I will be teaching
  overseas for a few years then coming back to
  teach high school Special Ed in inner city
  schools.

A Few Things about me
4
In My Spare Time

• I work at the Gainesville Ale House as a waitress
  at least 30 hours a week with some of my best
  friends.
• I like to go out to dinner, go shopping, and hang
  out with my friends.

5
My Sorority

• I am in a Christian Sorority called Sigma Phi
  Lambda. These girls are amazing and definitely
  keep me going. My beliefs are very important to
  me and it is good to have friends that keep me on
  the right track.

My Family

• Like I said before, my family now lives in
  Columbus, OH. My dad works for the Columbus Blue
  Jackets, which is a NHL hockey team. It is his
  dream job so my family was glad to support him
  and move up north, even though it means living in
  Buckeye Country. My sister is three years
  younger than me and is a senior in high school.
  My mom is my best friend and I miss her so much!

My Puppy

• In February I got a dog named Bentley. He is a
  chiuaua- yorkie mix. He is a little monster and
  gets into everything. Even though he is wild, I
  love him to death.

Why do I want to teach?

• I want to teach for many reasons. First of all I
  am a people person so a job that allows me to
  interact with people is a perfect fit.
• The reason I want to teach overseas and in inner
  city schools is because I want to help change
  peoples lives. Especially people who otherwise
  may not have gotten an education.

Surprise!

• Many people dont know this but the summer before
  my freshman year in high school I had surgery on
  my back. I had severe scoliosis so I had to have
  two metal rods, 4 two inch screws, and 4 hooks
  put in my back. Luckily I dont set the metal
  detectors off at the airport!
