Mini Biography

My name is Margeux Bourque. I don't typically blog, however this is for a course I am taking in order to become a teacher. I am French (I am sure you could tell from my name), Irish and Mexican. I was born in Texas but grew up in Rhode Island for as long as I can remember with a wonderful family & close-knit friends...and of course, my dog. :) I was raised in Scituate by my grandmother. I am a child of divorce and though I consider my Memere my own mother, I maintain a strong healthy relationship with my dad (her son). I have one significantly older sister who is my best friend but recently moved to Miami. She is bilingual (she speaks Spanish) which is a something I am admittedly jealous of because it's an amazing quality to have. I was born in late February, thus making me a Pisces. I tend to think of myself as an open-minded laid-back and quiet. A go-with-the-flow type of person, if you will. English is my passion, it always has been which has led me to wanting to become a Secondary Education major. My goal is to teach English (preferably literature) to young adults, get married and live a happy, long successful life. I read for pleasure (some favorites include V.C. Andrews, James Patterson, Edgar Allan Poe, James Joyce and Shakespeare). I also enjoy sports... In high school I used to play soccer, softball and cheerlead but now, I am more of a spectator. I also love watching football (New England Patriots of course). My taste for music varies - I listen to anything from the Rolling Stones to Eric Clapton to DJ Tiesto to Bullet for my Valentine. I am not a big believer in luck - I am a believer in working hard for what you achieve... In a nutshell, I work hard and play hard. I love my life and the people in it. :)
