My name is Misti Love-Ingelstrom, and I am a sophomore at Boise State University. Currently I am working on my first bachelors degree in History, Secondary Education with a minor in Anthropology. My preferred age group is high school, with teaching at the university level as a future goal after I obtain my Doctorate. I, however, could get into high school and absolutely love it and never want to leave - we shall see. Even if I do decide to stay at the high school level, the doctorate is non-negotiable; it has been a lifelong dream of mine to be called, "Dr. Love". 

         I'm going into teaching because I have a passion for learning, and I love sharing my knowledge with others. I feel like teaching is the ultimate service to the community because it enables us as individuals to encourage and contribute to the advancement of our society, while helping to teach children and adults to be positive members of the general public.
        
        As far as personal information such as hobbies or interests, I'd say that first and foremost I enjoy any and all activities that have to do with learning, the outdoors, or sports in general. I consider myself somewhat of an athletic person, and I also like to delve into crafts such as sewing and scrapbooking. Not to mention, I LOVE a good book. I am a full-time student, which happens to work part-time, and take care two school-aged sons. I am married, (for nearly 10 years! My, how time flies!), and my husband is incredibly supportive of my educational goals. I'm sure he will be thrilled to "have his wife back" come fall of 2015; my expected date of graduation. 
       
        I am a lifelong learner, and I really look forward to teaching and passing along the knowledge I have gained while at this great university. I can only hope that my passion for learning and teaching will rub off onto my future students, and encourage them to do well and excel in school.
