Most children wait for the last day of school in anticipation, exploding in revel when that last day finally arrives. I, however, cry. I have never wanted to leave school. In fact, when I was a child, one of my favorite things to pretend was Teacher. Much to my parent’s dismay, I drew student names on practically all my large pieces of furniture. Undoubtedly, if you were to peruse the contents of my mother’s basement, you would probably still find a plastic container labeled with a name such as “Cera” or “Tyler.”I extended this love of teaching to my cousins, two of which were in special education classes. Lessons covered a variety of topics, from the complicated architecture of the Egyptian Pyramids to developmental reading strategies. Of course, this love of teaching should hardly be surprising; education is the family business. Both of my grandmothers and my parents were/are practiced educators. Conversation revolved around the first day of Head Start, the last day of senior year, and everything in between. I am quite comfortable in that setting. After all, “Take Your Child to Work Day” always positioned me in a school.My initial career goal was to become a teacher, an English teacher to be precise.

In the short-term, my goal is to obtain admission into Marshall University’s School Psychology program and to secure a summer job that pertains to the mental health field. In the long-term, however, I strive to earn my Education Specialist degree, with at least a 3.5 GPA, before the summer of 2014. Eventually, I hope to acquire a doctoral degree, if only to fulfill a personal desire to augment my education and hone my skills.However, wherever life may lead, my primary focus shall always be the well-being of students.
