To help grow our future leaders. As a special education teacher, I get to help them grow on themselves as a person. One of the biggest things that I try to teach them is self advocacy as that is an important tool once they become adults. I also remind them of their worth and help them believe in themselves.

Having a student come and tell me that because I took the time to get to know them and to talk to them instead of just telling them how bad they were that they got sober and they are actually trying to do better for themselves.

Have the best looking classroom with all of the fidgets and alternative seating to help accommodate my special needs students. I would also give back to the community to help our children and their future.
