Hello!

My name is Bernice, and I’m going to be a high school math teacher. I’m technically in my third year, but it’s my first at the U of R, and my first in this program.

I’m not a huge technology user, and something like making a blog is entirely new to me. I’ve never been against using technology, but it’s not something I ever felt I needed. (My parents also raised me to be quite wary of the internet, so I think there’s some leftover suspicion there too.)

Besides having never made a blog, I’ve never had enough experience reading blogs to decide that I liked one enough to keep up with, so overall I’m coming into this with very little experience whatsoever.

I’m a Christian, and something that I’ve been super interested in lately is how I can continue to grow in an understanding of the world around me that is as balanced and true as possible. Thus, I’ve really enjoyed listening to the Unbelievable? podcast. This is a Christian-run podcast, on which two people of opposing views are invited to debate and discuss their various ways of seeing things. There are often Christians paired with non-Christians, during which both explain their point of view or challenge the view of the other, or Christians paired with other Christians that hold differing opinions. Overall, this podcast has been very informative and I’ve enjoyed learning from it. If you have questions about Christianity or are interested, I would highly recommend this podcast.

That’s all for now,

Bernice
