Summary

To explain a little bit about who I am I think it is important to know how I became interested in teaching. It only took a couple of days working in Unified sports for me to realize that special education was my passion. Seeing how much impact an interaction with students has changed my views of what I was meant to do. I learned so much about my passion and how I can implement my interest into a fun teaching method.
