Haven’t you ever thought to yourself, “What can I do to make a difference in the world?” No well I have, I believe there are many ways a person can impact the world, but the way I am going to impact the world is to become an educator.

Those classes were Social Foundations and Diversity in the 21st Century Classroom (FSEM). Social foundations and FSEM helped me connect education and myself.
