Additional Information
Personal Note:
I am in the process of getting my paraprofessional License and I take my Gace test January 4th. I'm expecting to start in the new school term (2024-2025) but I am willing to sub and work where I'm needed. I recently have dropped out of college only because of financial reasons. I was going for Nursing and Physical Therapy, but then at the last minute went for Elementary Education. Im not the most experienced, but my love for helping and leading children makes up for that. I do hope you will consider me for the position. Thank You!
