The Hamm Family – Bob, Courtney, Me, Kristen, Zac<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hi! My name is Sheryl Hamm. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas and graduated from Texas A & M University<\/a> in 1990 with a degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis on reading and an ESL (English as a Second Language) Certification. I taught 2nd grade for 7 years and loved my school and the children! In 1998, I quit to stay home with our children and in 2005, we were transferred to Tallahassee for my husband’s job. Since we arrived here, I have been a volunteer in Leon County Schools and at our church, Trinity United Methodist Church<\/a>, and I was a substitute in Leon County Schools for 13 years until COVID arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the picture above, you’ll see my family: My husband, Bob, is a civil engineer and works for a private consulting firm. Courtney is 23, graduated from Texas A & M University with a finance degree, and lives and works in Dallas, Texas. Kristen is 21 and is a junior at FSU. Her major is Recreation and Tourism Management in the Dedman College of Hospitality and she is very involved with Dance Marathon<\/a>. Zac is Kristen’s longtime boyfriend and he is currently an assistant youth pastor at a Methodist church here in town. This picture was taken over the holidays in Texas while we visited family. We were at Mount Bonnell in Austin<\/a>, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have always wanted to be a librarian, so in the Fall of 2020, I joined the MSI program at FSU. This is my final semester and I am taking 3 classes. I will graduate in April – a year earlier than planned. I have accepted a job with the Leon County Library here in Tallahassee and will begin as soon as all the paperwork is completed. I will be an Information Professional in Youth Services. I am very excited to start my new career!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am excited about this class and a little anxious about this class. As you can see, I’m older than the majority of college students. When I was in high school in the late 1980’s, I took 1 computer programming class and we programmed the computer to draw simple pictures. In college, I took a FORTRAN class and got an A with the help of people in the computer lab where I did all my work. I did not own a computer until I was married. So, I have been learning as I go all these years and I have never worked with producing digital media. The closest I have gotten to things we will be doing in this class is making books about trips we’ve taken and making gifts using Shutterfly<\/a>. So, all of this is a little overwhelming but I know I am capable!! I hope to be able to take things I learn here and apply them to my job in the public library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my spare time, my husband and I love to travel!!! I also love to scrapbook, read and spend time with my whole family!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
