Introduction

Hello Geog 1202!

My name is Kimberly and I am originally from Las Cruces, New Mexico, but I have been living in Colorado since I was six years old.  I graduated from CU Denver in May of 2013 with a B.A. in History and have made the decision to pursue my Masters and teaching certificate in Secondary Social Studies.  I am in the process of applying for the program, but I have come into this class because I had my transcripts evaluated, and low and behold, I didn’t have the necessary geography credits needed for the program!  Anyways, I have 3 sons so all my hobbies and free time revolve around them. 

         

          I have selected the island of Mauritius.  This beautiful island is located off of the southeastern coast of Africa and has amazing geographical landscapes that are unique and worth researching.  Situated in the Indian Ocean, the island has mountains, sandy beaches, islets, and is surrounded by the third largest coral reef.  As a history major, I took many courses in African history and I chose Mauritius for one of my papers and I have been infatuated ever since.  Coincidentally, my oldest son’s name is Marius (which is very similar), so I found that pretty cool!
