A bit about me
My name is Hannah Gabrielle Albano, I was born and raised in Mobile, AL by my two wonderful parents Anita and Terry Albano along with my little brother Connor. I am currently engaged to Thomas Waters, we purchased and moved into our own home in 2010. We share our home with our son Cooper ,who was born on August 13,2011 and our Doberman Chance. I am 1/2 Filipino which explains my "different" last name. I come from a LARGE family, my dad was one of seven siblings, then came the twenty two grand children and one great grand child, my son Cooper. My large family is so valuable to me! It has taught me to become the loving, nurturing mother I am today as well as the ingrained in me what it takes to have a thriving family of my own. Although my son was a surprise I could not imagine my life with out him. My world revolves around his every move and at ten months he is moving EVERYWHERE! I have always learned to live my life by the quote "A persons true self is shown when they are able to handle the unexpected". Even though some days are trying to say the least, I am thankful for the life I have been blessed with.

I am an alumni of Baker High School where I graduated from in 2008. I chose to continue my education at The University of South Alabama where I am majoring in Secondary Education with a minor in English. I plan to continue to get my masters in hopes to broaden my chances at finding a job. I would consider my self as having a Type A personality, I am driven, some what OCD, hate change, and sometimes become agitated quickly. Continuing my education has taught me how to deal with my personality as well as others who have different expectations than I do. Although my major is trying sometimes I thoroughly believe I am where I should be in life. Becoming a teacher was a dream of mine as a child, a dream with which I am working to make a reality!
