Dear Ann,

Hello. My name is Laura Cruz. I teach in an early childhood program in the Omaha area. This is my first year teaching in the program. I graduated from Peru State College last year in May. I have two small children at home who keep me very busy. I have to run away from home so I can get my homework done.

I have very little experience with technology. I send emails and have online classes but that is about all that I do with the Internet. I would call myself a PC person but I really like the looks of a Mac I just don't like to use them. I use no technology in the classroom. I work in a portable and the Internet goes in and out so we don't use it. This computer says that I am using Office 2003.

I really wanted to get my Master's degree while my children were still small. I came back to Peru because the program is very quick to get all of the classes done. It is also cheaper than most of the other schools that I was looking to attend.

Sincerely,
Laura Cruz
