Hey! I’m Alicia Bauer and I recently graduated from Lancaster High School. I am now currently attending Canisius College as a resident. My major is Early Childhood/Special Education with a concentration in English. Ever since I was 3, I have wanted to be a teacher. I love working with kids and watching them learn and grow, many people have tried to persuade me away from teaching, but I don’t let them get in my way.

My family consists of my Mom, Dad, my brother Brandon, and my pet turtle. My brother is 15 (3 years younger than me). When I was 4 my dad won a game at the fair and I got to choose the prize. I could choose either a softball or a turtle, and of course I chose the turtle. I named him Watermelon because he was a red-eared slider; he lived to be 10 years old. After he died we got another red-eared slider from Petsmart, we named him Franklin. Yes, he got his name from the TV show, because it was my favorite show when I was little. Franklin is now 3 years old getting super big.
