1. Rita Scott Welcome To My Life

2. Family

3. Personal Information I was born and brought up in Mansfield, Ohio. At this time Mansfield was a wonderful industrial town to make great money. My dad worked and retired from General Motors. Not only has G.M left, Tappan, Westinghouse, AK Steel has also left. The next slide is GM Mansfield Ohio.

4. Personal Information I am married with four children. We have two boys, two girls, three grandchildren. We have two angelic dogs we call our kids and take everywhere with us. We have Rocky, ten year old Rat Terrier. We have Oreo, 7 year old Boston (wild) Terrier.

5. Mansfield Ohio GM closed June 2010 and is demolished March 2013. See video below http://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/Video Network/2253212525001/Ontario-GM-plant- demolition-continues Nothing that replaces GM will be as productive or make as much money as GM did.

6. Industry and Prison Shawshank redemption was filmed in Mansfield Ohio at the retired Ohio State reformatory. Below Westinghouse, GM and OSR.

7. Life Now Why I moved. My family is from Virginia, My parents relocated to Ohio. Ohio revenue is in the ditch. I now live in beautiful Smoky Mountain/Sevier County Tennessee and love it!

8. Career Choice I have a bachelors in Psychology. This helps me know me better, understand adults and children, interact with all people, appreciate all people/cultures/ethnicity and understand the norms and abnormal and it led me to a Masters of Arts in Education Degree with specialization Family and Community to be a positive influence to children, parents and family. Psychology is great with a Masters in Education. The two degrees marry together very well.

9. Uh-Oh As far as memory of either positive or negative school teachers, I have nothing to report due to dissociative amnesia from childhood abuse and trauma. My parents brought us up in a cult religion and a very traumatic home life. This is also what led me to psychology and MAED. I want to be a positive role model and help children learn to be responsible, productive, feel usefulness to become the best adult they can be. Belief in self is vitally important.

10. Favorite Food

11. My Latest AH HA Moment! New Years Eve 2013 I learnt nothing is impossible. A person can get their car totaled in their own driveway while they sleep. All I can do is shack my head in disbelief. The following is five cars involved in one hit and run drunk driver accident. The driver is 35 years old, lives with dad and mom, drove there Jeep Cherokee and created destructions and havoc for many. My husband and I were staying at LaQuinta in Farragut TN and felt we should come home. We checked out and came home and WOW! About 11pm boom, boom bam! DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE! See next slide.

13. Conclusion Life brings us battles and victories. Both teach us lessons. Never let life change who you are meant to be. Some people teach us what to do others teach us what not to do. Educational Quote: "It's important as a writer to do my art well and do it in a way that is powerful and beautiful and meaningful, so that my work regenerates the people” (JoyHarjo) I am looking forward to this class and communication in discussion posts. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone.
