Learn MoreWorking with children just came so easily to me and feels like a calling. I have fallen in love with the special needs community as well. I never thought of being a teacher and isn't something I saw for myself but feels more like faith. I get to help grow young minds and make a difference in the world and our future. Hopefully I can make a difference and help a child truly in need. I struggled in highschool and kindness from one teacher made a difference and, so hopefully I can be that teacher.
