I am Deuane.  My name has two meanings: Moon and Month.  However, my parents originally intended it to signify moon because I was born on the day of a full moon.  I was born in Thailand on  November 9.  About less than a year after I was born, my family immigrated to the United States.  We settled in Sacramento and have stayed since.  I have two siblings, one older sister and one younger brother.  I also have two wonderfully amazing and inspiring parents.

    I grew up in North Sacramento and attended school in the surrounding aread.  My college years at UC Berkeley were the best of my adult education.  The four years I spent there helped mold me and change me into the person I am today.  As I look back at myself, I’ve seen how much I’ve change and so much of it is positive.

    Today, I am at UC Davis working on becoming a teacher.  It is a arduous process but I am tackling it the best I can.  I’ve learned a great deal about myself as an educator and learner during this process.  Hopefully, all of what I’ve learned will manifest itself in me becoming the best teacher I can be.  I see a bright future for myself and I hope I continue to change for the better.  I am Deuane.  I am dynamic not static.
