About Me
My name is Bre'Anna Alexis Boykins. I was born in Washington DC, on the hot summer day of July 8th 1987 to Marshall and Adoncia Boykins and introduced to a older brother Marshall Boykins II, who is four years my senior, and is my best friend. My early childhood memories are vivid and pleasurable, being the youngest and the only girl definately had its perks in my household. From my early years I can still remember my mother telling me I had the ability to become anything I wanted to and those words left a huge impact on me. I excelled in my early grade school years above my peers, and school was one of the best places I could be. I loved school so much that I would come home and pretend I was the teacher. I used anything or anyone I could to fufill the vision of me becoming a teacher, from my next door neighbors, family members, or even stuffed animals. My parents saw that desire in me at a young age, and transformed my play room into a classroom equipped with paper, pencils, chalkboards, a computer and many arts and crafts activities. In my later years, thoughts about school began to change. I began not wanting to go, and not enjoying the school environment that I once thought was a wonderland. Something had changed, I wasnt the same eager student who sat in the front of the class and raising my hand as if the teacher was incapable of seeing it. The start of my 5th grade year I was introduced to something that plagues the hallways of schools everywhere, that is a enemy to both teachers and parents, I was introduced to peer pressure. The pressure that gave me a longing to want to fit in, became the reason why I all of a sudden hated school. Friends opinions had begun to shape my world, and my parents, teachers, or any adult of that matter simply "did not understand". This dreadful enemy called peer pressure followed me all the way to senior high school, Junior year, Mr. Micheal Marchizza's Micro Biology classroom. Peer pressure was finally put to rest in this Biotechnology filled haven, and suddenly my childhood memories of school began to flood back in. School was fun, and learning made me feel great. Exanding in knowledge became a hobby and my life has never been the same. I never planned on going to college but because of this encounter in this classroom, I decided to enroll at Bowie State University, and the words my mom spoke to me as a child, "you have the ability to anything you want to do" resounded in my ears, and continue to follow me everywhere I go.

**__Educational Philosophy __** 
 * Education is a necessary and effective tool, that when used properly, is able to propel and shift one into their future endeavors. Education is not only a necessity in everyday life, but it is a way to receive quality expectations and have goals become real. With an education the possibilities for success are endless. People who receive these quality educations are able to perform well on jobs, and create careers for themselves. Education is not just confined to the walls of a building. Education actually takes place from the point of conception until demise. In actuality, people never stop learning in fact the learning process continues to grow build even in the latter years of life. Whether it’s from life experiences or culture influences, the education process continues to take place. Education is a beautiful gift, given to all who accept it, and can be used by everyone. Education benefits all members of society, because of it we advance into modern technology and beyond. It is one of the only gifts on earth that cannot be taken away, because it has no physical value, educations value is far too precious to be counted for as money. Education is a solid foundation that is stored and guarded into ones mind . **
