Where I Would Like to be

Becoming an educator has been a dream of mine since I first attended school and became my 1st grade teacher's assistant. Right away I knew this was something I wanted to do. The women I look up to and model myself after them. I strive to be the best educator I know. I plan to graduate from Prairie View A&M University in Spring 2015 with a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies. Who would think that goal would be hard to attain, I did not. In collaboration with my degree, I plan to have at least three certification, Special Education, EC-6 Gen, and ESL.  I feel as if people are still stuck in the early 1900s and not realizing how much my field has grown. We are no longer giving Special Education students arts and crafts projects to keep them quiet; we are far from that. I do not want to limit myself in my career, even though I do not aim to someday reach the administer level, but I do feel there are other ways to reach the top in my career field. I also want to bring more awareness and understanding to the Special Education field.
