Garrard,+Mikayla,+Introduction

Hello my name is Mikayla Garrard and here are a few things about me:

I was born and raised in Klamath Falls, Oregon and lived there until recently when i moved to Ashland, Oregon to attend Southern Oregon University. I have a large family, my mom and dad are divorced and both remarried, I have two full brothers that are 14 months younger than me and twins and a step brother on my dad's side.

I have always been active: I played soccer most of my life, but stopped after high school. I have also played basketball, been on the swim team, and ran track and field. Track is where i found my true passion; I am a jumper and a sprinter so I do a variety of events and I love them. I did well in track in high school, participating in the state championships every year and I will continue to participate in track at SOU.

I am considering being a teacher because i love teaching and children. I want to go into the field of physical and health education at the high school or middle school level. Also, being a teacher would give me the opportunity to coach which is something I would enjoy.
