Abi's+Introduction

Hi! My name is Abi Marlowe, and I'm in in the MSI: Language Arts, secondary program. I am returning to Northeastern after graduating with my Bachelor's in 2005. I currently teach sixth grade Language Arts in Mundelein. I also live close to work which is very convienent. Especially since I was given a puppy for Christmas from my boyfriend! My puppy is a red Siberian Husky named Rudy. He is energetic and so adorable!

Besides working and going to school, I also coach. I am the coach for Mundelein High School's winterguard team. This is my first year coaching, and it is quite a challenge. We are going to our first competition on January 30th, so I hope it goes well! I just finished the season as the eighth grade girls' basketball coach at the middle school where I teach. We didn't have the greatest record, but it was fun nevertheless.



In my limited free time, I love to read, watch movies, and relax at home. I also love to run. I have completed seven marthons, three half-marathons and various other road races. I love the challenge of my pushing myself, and running is something that definitely gives me that feeling. Last January, I finished the "Goofy Challenge" at Disney world. This means running the half-marathon on Saturday and running the full marathon on Sunday (that's a total of 39.3 miles!) It was a lot of fun though because almost my whole family went to run it, too. I am determined to return to Disney and complete the Goofy again with a significantly improved time. I plan on doing at least ten marathons in my life, so I'm almost there.
