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

I believe that working with children is what I am supposed to do. Building relationships with the students and their family’s is important to me. Making a difference in someone’s life is what I aim to do. When students see me out in public I want them to smile and think/say my teacher loves me.

Why did you choose to become licensed in special education?

I want to be apart of their support system. Students need a good advocate and I will be that! I want to positively impact not only the students but their parent’s lives.
