Learn MoreI have always been excited about teaching… In highschool I noticed some of the special education students not being treated fairly by peers, that’s when I knew I had to be the change. I took them under my wing because why does anyone think they are better than someone else? I perused my dream and here I am teaching K-1 special education students!
