A Day in the Desert

About the Reviewer: Lori Silverstein is currently a junior at the University of Arizona and working toward her degree in elementary education. She will be graduating in December of 2005. Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, she has found she was always asked this question, "Why did you choose to go to the University of Arizona?" Honestly, she does not have an answer, but she can say that she made the right choice. After graduating from the University of Arizona, she plans to return to Dallas for a few years to teach and possibly obtain a Master's in special education or psychology. She has always enjoyed being with and working with children. This is probably due to the fact that because she was the baby in her family, she always had someone to look up to her as a role model, like she did to her big sister, Lisa. By becoming a teacher, she will gain such satisfaction in her life by having an impact on the students in her classroom and by being somebody's role model as well as learning and growing along with the students. Her family and friends always say, "You have such great patience, and such a concern for others in helping them understand and achieve their goals. You will be an amazing teacher." Besides working toward her Bachelor's degree in education, she enjoys shopping, exercising, listening to music, reading magazines, and being with her family and friends. She is a TRUE animal lover, and when she becomes a teacher there will be a show-and-tell day of the real live animals the students have! (Fall 2003)
