Confessions of A Shopaholic




Confessions of a Shopaholic is a fun, cute, entertaining read that will have you laughing out loud. The main character, Becky, is a likeable English woman who has a major shopping addiction, but does not have the major funds to support it.  Written from Becky’s point of view, Confessions of a Shopaholic gives us a glimpse inside Becky’s head and allows us to follow her thought process and the reasoning behind her purchases.  Through her justifications, I see glimpses into my own spending habits and excuses.
 
I recommend this book to any student who enjoys shopping.  It’s not great literature, but instead, a cute read for any student to easily follow.  There is, however, a serious underlying theme of the dangers of getting yourself into financial troubles, and we can all learn some lessons from Becky.

Each student has the potential to reach higher than they expect. The way we as educators help them to achieve this potential is to expect nothing less than their absolute best!
  • About Me...
      Hello Everyone!! My name is Amanda Shoup and I am from Parkers Chapel, a small community in El Dorado, Arkansas. I am happily married to my wonderful husband, Jeremy, and we have a seven year-old son, Trace. I have a bachelor's degree in Business Management with an emphasis in Marketing, and I am currently enrolled in the Master of Arts in Teaching Program at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. I currently do not have a job, and I am certified to teach Business Education in grades 7th – 12th, but living in a small town, those jobs are few and far between. I am not giving up hope, though, because I know there is a job for me, I just hope it comes along soon! My hobbies include whatever sport my son is playing, which is currently Pee Wee Football, doing home improvement projects, hunting, and spending time with my family. I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me through the MAT program, and into the field of education!
