Summary
I'm currently a student at Santa Fe college taking all online courses. My goal is to become an elementary school teacher and to potentially go for a Masters Degree in Education down the road. I would love to get some experience in the childcare world now that I am getting closer to finishing my degree for elementary education. I technically should have my A.A.'s in Biological Sciences and Early Childhood Ed. already, however, in order to officially receive them at the end of this semester I must take my Civic Literacy Exam which I have already signed up for. I've worked many different jobs since I was in high school until now. When I moved to Gainesville for school I found a great local restaurant that has been very accommodating with my school schedule. Now it's time to focus on finding a job that I could either make into a career or at least serve as a stepping stone on my path towards an education career.
