** My name is Jenny Smiley. I am the second oldest of seven children from Cincinnati, Ohio. I live In Ada, Ohio with my husband and dog Belle. **  ** I love nature and the outdoors. In my free time I run, hike, bicycle, and practice yoga. My favorite places to visit are national parks. ** ** I also spend time volunteering in the community working with children. Last year I facilitated an after-school program for eighth grade girls **** at Kenton Middle School focusing on fitness and wellness. ** ** I am a non-traditional student at Ohio Northern University pursuing a degree in Health and Physical Education. **

**I chose to study the field of Health and Physical Education because it encompasses learning life skills that go beyond the classroom.** **Children learn not only ways to be active, but acquire skills to participate in social sports and activities throughout life.** **Health and Physical Education teaches children life skills such as teamwork, self efficacy, and goal setting to name a few.**
 * The learning opportunities are endless!!**
