My name is Stephanie Leigh Dunaway. I was born in Mobile, Al and grew up in Daphne, Al. I moved to Fairhope, Al during middle school and stayed there until graduating from Fairhope High School in 2009. I now live in an apartment in Mobile. I came to the University of South Alabama because I was recruited to play softball here. I recieved a scholarship and am very fortunate to be able stay close to home and continue my softball career. I have a younger brother who is my best friend and I am very close with my parents, so I am happy to be near all of them.
I am majoring in Elementary Education in the "new program" which also includes special education. I chose this career because I love children and I want to make a difference in their lives. I know that young children might not always have the best role models at home and i think it is very important for children to learn right from wrong and have a possitive foundation when they are young and I believe I can supply that to them. Eventually I would like to become an Elementary School counselor. I definitely want to stay in the south when I graduate and would love to live on or very close to the beach- I am a major beach bum!
My best qualities are that I am very honest when it comes to giving advice, I have a good amount of leadership experience, I am very outgoing, and I am always willing to listen and/or give advice. I love playing softball. I have played since I was five years old and I currently play outfield for South. I believe softball has taught me a lot about life. I have been through a lot of adversity over the years, but I have always gotten through it and become a stronger player and person.
