Well, I've wanted to be a teacher since I was five. I can still remember playing games with my sisters when I was younger and always wanting to play teacher. My decision to be a teacher started in high school when I began exploring more job opportunities working with children. I did a lot of babysitting and tutoring, and it was then that I decided I wanted my career to be working with children. I developed a love for special education when I was junior in college during student observations and student teaching experiences where I found myself being drawn to students that required more support. "here is truly nothing more rewarding than watching a struggling learner finally grasp a concept that had been difficult. I love being able to do that every single day.
