My
name is Jennifer Mannin. I grew up in Tieton, Washington, a small
town just outside of Yakima. I lived there for most of my life with my Mom and my two brothers, Kevin and Ryan. I attended the Highland School District
and graduated in 2002. During high school I had the opportunity to
volunteer in the elementary school as a reading tutor. My mentor, Ms.
Wyatt, was my inspiration to become a teacher. I graduated from
Yakima Valley Community College in the Spring of 2008 with my AA and
this year I will be graduating from Central Washington
University with a bachelor's in elementary education and a minor in
reading.
