My name is Kimberly Wright but everyone calls me Kim. I live in Fairhope, Alabama but I am originally from Knoxville, Tennessee. I lived in Knoxville since I was five years old but decided to move to Alabama in the summer of 2008. I based my decision to move on the fact that my parents agreed to pay for my college if I moved down here with them. I found this offer quiet entriging considering I was paying for my school when I was in Knoxville. When I moved down to Fairhope I got a part time job at Belk, in the shoe department. I absolutely cannot stand my job but it pays the bills and for the gas it takes me to drive from Fairhope to Mobile for school.

I am a junior at the University of South Alabama and I am pursuing a degree in Elementary Education. This has always been my degree of choice but unfortunately my family talked me into a different major for the first two years I was in college. I started out being a psychology major because they convienced me that the money was better, which it is, but I changed my mind and decided to go with what I am passionate about. I have always loved and worked with children therefore, I decided to go into this degree and disregard the pay. I have about two years left until I finish my bachelors degree and can begin teaching in a classroom. In addition to my bachelors degree, I hope to complete a masters degree in education and even possibley consider a PHD in order to become a principle. I plan to teach for about five years while taking night and online classes to obtain my masters and PHD.

Outside of school, I am a very outgoing person. I love to be outside, play sports, be with my family, and enjoy life to the fullest. My one passion is traveling but unfortunately I have not been able to do this as much as I would like. I am hoping that one day I will be able to travel to all the places I would love to see. I also enjoy photography, I would eventually love to be a photographer on the side. Overall, I feel that I am a very well rounded person who is driven and enjoys many things in life.
