Why did you choose to become a teacher, in general?

I chose to become a teacher because I love working with children. I feel the need to find a career that includes working with children. I want to be able to teach what I know and make an impact.

Why did you choose to become licensed in special education?

I have chosen to become a special education teacher because of my aunty Jelna Shelton who inspired me. Her inspiration showed me how much of a impact you could make for your students and family. As a special education teacher I want to help families and my students in reaching their goals to prepare them for the world out there. I want to see and be the reason why my students hit a milestone. I want to see smiles, positive expression, and I want to show compassion towards my students.
