All About Me

My name is Deondray Ivey. I was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I graduated from Philadelphia High School for Business and Technology; the name is very misleading because it sounds like a great school but it is not at all.  It had less then 350 students and a very low budget for school materials; we also shared a building with another high school.

I am a second semester Freshman at Edinboro University. My major is Middle lv. Education major with a concentration in Mathematics.  I choose this as my major because I can see myself teaching children in a couple years. I also would like to be a part time firefighter.  I do not really know why being a fire fighter looks like a rewarding job and also has great health benefits.

My main hobby is running.  I ran the Philadelphia Marathon (2011) (3:11:48). I ran in the AAU national meet in Houston, Texas (2012); I placed 5th in the 2000 meter steeplechase.   I have been running track for about three years now. I am a distance runner; my main focuses are the 800 (half mile:2 laps) and 1500 (mile: four laps)  meter races. I am still experimenting with different races since I did not have much of a high school track coach to actually lead me to the right event.

Being a teacher I think I could help children academically and athletically; teach and a track & fields coach at a needed school.






Unrelated, alot of people do not know what a steeplechase is so I posted this video...
