“I have always liked reading and writing, especially after taking a
creative writing class”. Jenny Toke began her pursuit of English when she was
young. She started writing poetry, at first, and then found a love for fiction.
Some of her first writings were posted online to a fan fiction site. Although she
was young at the time, she was proud to show her level of competent writing
at such a young age. One of her most outstanding accomplishments was the
completion of a 125 page book for her senior project in high school.
Jenny is from Bedford, PA and graduated in 2009 from Chestnut Ridge High School.
She was born October 29, 1990 which makes her 21 years old. “Although that
is the year everyone parties it up, I’m not a hardcore drinker.” Jenny prefers
being the designated driver and says she fits the profile of a DD pretty
adequately.
Jenny grew up with an older sister and younger half brother. Her
older sister currently works at a bank and her younger half brother is doing
mechanical work. Her mother, Beverly, was a biology major in college and is currently a
home health care assistant. Her father, Lou, has his own business on their deer farm. " I love animals, thankfully, and loved riding horses since I was a little girl... ever since my first ride on a carousel, actually." Both of her parents had expectations for her to someday pursue a career in a science-related subject but found that those subjects were her weakest.
Jenny also learned to play piano and played soccer as she was growing up. She still plays soccer sometimes just for fun but says she has unfortunately not touched a piano in years. She also really enjoys singing but not necessarily as a soloist, as she is "kind of shy".
At 21, Jenny has already graduated from ACM with associates in Secondary Education and an associate’s degree in English. This is Jenny’s second semester at Frostburg State University and is continuing to pursue English. Jenny would also like to continue learning Spanish, as she took a few courses through high school, and would like to eventually travel to a Spanish-speaking country.
From here, she plans to graduate from Frostburg State University in 2014 with a master’s degree in English/Literature, hopefully find an English teaching job on the high school level, and marry her boyfriend of two years, Ryan. "Ryan is my best friend and believed soul mate”.
