Summary
As a former service member in the United States Air Force, I have certain values which I still stand by today: integrity being the most important. I have worked in many career fields and have recently discovered my love for teaching. I wish to be a substitute teacher until I have graduated from ENMU with my Alternative License Certificate, due to my Bachelor's being in Social Work. (I currently have two courses remaining which I need to be a teacher if record prior to enrolling in them.)
