Q:Do you enjoy teaching? What made you want to become a special education teacher?

“I wholeheartedly love my job. It is different everyday and always challenging in a new way. I went into teaching due to my own struggles as a student. I remember silently crying inside because I was so lost and had no clue what to do to help myself. I had a learning disability in reading so I had to re-read things over and over and over again to just get a C. I get the struggle and have learned how to overcome the limits of my disability to shine and assist others. I truly still can say that I love teaching and want to see others shine and succeed in life. My ultimate goal is to see my students be successful in life and school.”

Every spirit day/week is memorable and fun for us teachers.”
