Hello! My name is Samantha Howard and I am studying at Brigham Young University-Idaho. I am majoring in Child Development and love it! I hope to graduate in the next year and then go on to get a masters degree in Speech Pathology. I love learning new things and I love teaching, especially children. I am from California, but Idaho has stolen my heart and I hope to stay somewhere in the state after I graduate. I have three older sisters, one younger brother, and two brother-laws, as well as two amazing parents; I love them all so much. My family means the world to me and every time we get together it is a party! I am currently enrolled in a family relations class which is giving me the opportunity to start blogging. Over the next few months I will talk about my thoughts on different topics discussed in my class in regards to families. I have never blogged before, but am excited to give it a shot!
