Summary

Being a sub paraprofessional for a while now, even before I became a mom; I realize that there are similarities. One is that I strive to make a difference in a little life regardless, if they’re my kids or not, the hardest part is trying to balance; putting my children first while serving others, but over the years I have managed to do; so perhaps this is what I meant to do in life, serve the children.

Wow, never expected that when my precious second child would help teach me how to actually incorporate all my tools I’ve learned into my daily mothering life, since he is on the spectrum also. I find that he is always keeping me on my toes learning and trying different tactics that I can implement at the schools weekly.
