I have always wanted to be a teacher since I was elementary school. My mom used to work at my school, so I would arrive about 45 before I could go to my classroom. I would spend this extra time helping one of our special education teachers’s set up her classroom and gather her materials she would need for the day. I absolutely loved this and I continued to spend more and more time in her classroom. I would come in before class, during recess, and after school to help her and to spend time with her students.

I have always been a very caring person, so deciding to be a teacher came naturally, having an extreme level of patience, and an attention to students needs I believe my skill set will best be used teaching Special Education.

I have always had a passion for making a difference in others’ lives. From a young age my aspiration has to become a teacher, but I was not sure what level of education I would be best suited in.

It brought me great joy to see them happy when people cared about them and even simply talked to them. It was not until about the end of my junior year in high school, I decided to explore different areas of education my senior year.

This opportunity was given to me by being able to be a teacher's aide in Mrs.Mccabe’s life skills class. This has inspired me as an upcoming teacher and shown me that sewing into the lives of the younger kids can change who they are in the future for the better. Undoing the ongoing stigma society has laid out for these special needs kids is also very important for me and I will be a strong voice for the kids. Also in my time at Ennis High School, I was given the opportunity in one of my electives to be in Mrs.Kovars Ready Set Teach program for 3 years which allowed me to shadow a teacher at any of our available schools in the Ennis school district while also being able to get in-person classroom experience.
