Hi, my name is Allison Gault, and I am 20 years old. I am the oldest of three children and was born in southern California. When I was 9, my family was transferred to Tucson, and I have been here ever since (and love it!). I graduated from Canyon Del Oro High School in 2003 and continued my education at Pima Community College. Now I am at Northern Arizona University studying elementary education. I have always known that I was going to be a teacher, and now I am fulfilling my dream. When I graduate in 2007, I will become a kindergarten teacher. Right now, I am a nanny for a great family with 3 active boys.

My name is Lindsey Henson, and I am 21 years old. A little about me: I am the middle child of three girls and was born and raised in Thatcher, Arizona. I graduated from Thatcher High School in 2002. After high school, I went to Mesa Community College and played basketball, which is my passion. I was also the Assistant Women's Basketball Coach for Eastern Arizona College in 2003-04. I am currently in the Elementary Education program at Northern Arizona University (Tucson Site). I will graduate in December of 2007. I have worked the past two years as a special education aide and this year, have 10 wonderful children in my classroom that I absolutely adore. They have made such an impact on my life and have also taught me so much. My goals are to become a first-grade teacher and touch children's lives. I also want to get married, have two wonderful children, and live happily ever after in Hawaii. ALOHA!!!!
