Salutations! My name is Lexi Sweet. Welcome to my humble blog. I am originally from the sticks of New Hampshire where I was born and bred. I went to Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio for my Bachelors in Drama. I then taught at a private school in New Hampshire for two years as a Drama/ second grade teacher. It was then that I fell in love with teaching and with a man. It was not long after that I left that job, moved to Chicagoland to be nearer to him and found myself in the midst of job searching. I then discovered that I needed a license to teach in the wonderful state of Illinois whether it be a private or public school. I landed a pretty decent job with a medical group in their administrative department last year, but I knew that I did not want to be there forever. I knew that if I wanted to continue to be a teacher, I needed to get that confounded license. I decided to go back to school to attain my Masters in Elementary Education. I chose to attend Dominican University, and this is currently my second semester in the program. I am definitely excited to be here and am up for any challenges this class and program are willing to throw at me. In conclusion, I will list just some fun facts about me if you are in the least bit interested: If you are familiar with the Meyers-Briggs personality test, I am an ENFJ. Ironically, the titled characteristic of this personality is “Teacher.” I am a big Boston sports fan so Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots, and Celtics are my homies. Hate all you want, Midwest. As a hobby, I brew beer with my fiancĂ©. I am a bit of a Potterhead, and I am definitely a Hufflepuff. Last but most certainly not least, I am getting married to my partner in crime on May 23, 2015. I hope you enjoy my future blog posts if you have not wanted to cause bodily harm to yourself by reading this one already.
