About Me

My photo
Hi, my name is Maren Talcott. I am 22 years old, and I just graduated Washington State University with a degree in Elementary Education and minor in Spanish. My passion is teaching... I love children! I was born in Minnesota, but spent all of my life growing up in Washington. My dream is to become a kindergarten teacher, and inspire children to love learning! I have done little to no traveling in my lifetime outside of the United States. My goal for this blog is to keep my family, friends, and loved ones up to date on my experiences. I will be living in Guatemala for three months, Jan.-March 2014. I will be volunteering at the Opal House School near Lake Atitlan. The reason for traveling to Guatemala is to have the experience of a lifetime, and improve my Spanish! This journey will push me out of my comfort zone, and open my eyes to a whole new world. I know that I will show my love and compassion to the guatemalan people every single day, and hope that I can impact their lives as much as I know they will impact my own.

WSU College of Ed Feature Story

My Story


This is pretty cool! I was asked by Brandon Chapman, the communications/marketing director for the college of education at WSU, for permission to write a story about my experience in Guatemala! Of course I said yes! It will be featured on the College of Education website starting tomorrow, but you can access the story now and take a look! I was also contacted by the Woodinville Weekly, the local newspaper back home...they want to do a story as well! But they want to wait for an interview when I return home.


 I know how special this experience is, and I know I have a lot I would love to share with the world. The things I have experienced, seen, and learned...but I never expected others to take such interest in my story. I am so grateful for this feature and all of my followers on my blog. 


Enjoy!
