My name is Sarah Wilke and I am an Elementary Education (PK-6) major. I am loving my senior year so much that I will be doing it again next year before my semester of student teaching. When I started at UWO I was a double major in Nursing and Biology. I planned to become an RN and advance on to med school. I was doing this for two years before I realized my true calling: becoming a teacher.

I am a Sr.CA in Taylor Hall so I live where I work. My job allows me to plan activities in and outside of the hall and design and create bulletin boards and door tags. I have also been giving campus tours for four years. When I am at home in Cudahy (a city just south of Milwaukee) I bus tables at The Packing House, a job I have worked at for 5 years, and I am also a nursing assistant at Aurora West Allis Medical Center, I job I have worked at for almost three years. I have an eighteen year old brother who goes to UW Parkside and is majoring in graphic design and twin eight year old brothers who rock my world. I miss them a lot when I am away at school. They are smart, funny boys who really light up my life. I love to read and cook in my spare time. I played soccer for eleven years and then tore my ACL/MCL, so I haven't really played since, but I like to stay active by running, biking, or playing volleyball.

I have had a computer almost my whole life. I am able to operate Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint and can navigate my way around the internet. I know how to install and uninstall programs. I use my computer to transfer pictures off of my digital camera and send them in to be printed.
