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

I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. My mom was a teacher so I grew up helping in her classroom. I quickly realized the difference my mom was making in the students lives as well as their families. She inspired her students and she made her classroom a home for the students who needed it most. I knew I wanted to be apart of something like this.

Why did you choose to become licensed in special education?

I chose Special Education because it allows me to make a significant difference in the lives of students who often face unique challenges. I am truly inspired by the opportunity to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I teach because I want to shape young minds to be kind and caring humans in society. Teaching is not just a career choice for me; it is a calling driven by a deep sense of compassion and a desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those who need it most.
