For as long as I can remember, I have always had some desire to be a teacher. It was my dream job when I was a kid and up until I was a teenager. However, when I got to college I opted out of getting a teaching degree, as I wanted to be able to explore other careers and keep my options open. I ultimately decided to major in public health and get a minor in general education. I have been happy with the path I chose to take, but with so many options out there, I have yet to find what I would love…

Ever since I was little, I knew that I wanted to be someone big in life. Making my mark on this world was something I felt as though everybody should accomplish one way or another.

To start off I want to explain what brought me to this class. I have known that I wanted to work with individuals with exceptionalities since early high school, but I found a huge liking to the clinical side of things. I initially was looking at going into occupational therapy and my senior year in high school I shadowed a Speech Language Pathologist and absolutely fell in love.
