"I am a current student at Liberty University Online in the Bachelor of Science in Education Curriculum and am entering into my junior year with an overall GPA of 3.03, where I will graduate in December, 2011. I have four children, ages 28, 25, 21 and 17. All of them except the oldest child were "special" education children with learning disabilities. Two of them had ADHD with specific learning disabilities, and one of them just had specific learning disabilities. All of the oldest three children have graduated with the last two graduating on the A-B honor roll. I also have 3 grandchildren, ages 10, 3, and 2. I have been an advocate of theirs throughout their years in school. I also worked for two years as a substitute teacher, including one year at Lincoln County and one year at Rhea County schools in Tennessee.
I am now a substitute teacher with Jackson County Public Schools in Sylva, NC. I worked mostly with 4th and 5th grade students in Tennessee, doing tasks such as lesson planning and teaching and helping students to understand the lessons for the day. I really enjoyed this job. In Jackson County, NC, I've worked with high school students and found this both rewarding and interesting so much so that this played a major roll in my decision to return to school at my age to become a teacher. I did my internship at the child development center at Webster,NC where I gained a small amount of experience with pre-school aged children and a very special child with autism." less...
