Special Education

Currently I am going to school. Well, I went back to school. Starting fresh! I already have my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice. What did I do with it? I became a Privet Investigator for Fraud and Cheating Hearts. Left the field because I was given a chance to carry a fire arm, but made the choice to not carry on with that dream. So long Silk Stalkings. What could I have done with it? By this point in my life, I could have been an officer of the law and made my way up the ladder to Detective or something of that nature. Twenty Seven, and still don’t know what I fully want to do when I grow up. So in the mean time, going back to school to become a Special Education Teacher is the choice to be.

On the side I work with Teen Mothers/Fathers, showing them how to care for their child, set them up with child care and further education for them. I love it! Given that I work with them, I realized by traveling the long road of life, that I want to do more. I want to teach. That is the way to give more. I want to help children who have learning disabilities or a chance to show them that they are smart, and the answer is the key on how to find a way around the blocked area in your mind to get the answers and education that all children are hungry for.

How I came to my decision. Math: was a strong weakness of mine all through school. I was always comparing myself to a fellow classmate where math and schooling came easy. It wasn’t until I realized that I was only slow at it. Once I realized this set back of mine, I became OKAY with math and was helping other students who did not understand it. Science: was nap time and came unsuitable for me, so that will be an area I don’t think I will touch. (I still have trouble handling raw chicken because of seventh grade Bio.) Hats off to those who understand it and love it! History: I loved History! Billy Joel is my all time favorite. I had this teacher in high school that used him in the beginning of the school year to say that we will learn everything that is mentioned in his “We Didn’t Start The Fire” song. So, from that point on I was hooked to History. English: I have always loved English. My spelling is still bad, but I continue to work on it. When it came to reading a great classic and breaking it down, I found that I understood it all. I felt like I was intelligent. I remember the time I realized that I loved writing. It was middle school. I had this teacher, telling me to keep it up, that I had things to be said and to be heard. My thoughts tend to be all over the place, but once I had a few key people that I looked to in guiding me and showing me how to get my thoughts in order, I was convinced that maybe one day I could have a CLASSIC that will be read in all high schools. All these areas of school (when I would go, not proud to say that) can be helped by the Special Education that most schools provide. I know that in this line of education, it can be draining, but it really is worth all the hard work.

So to end this for now, Thanks Doc and Thank you Mrs. T. for being great examples for Special Educational Teachers.

This was a blog entry to a paper that I have to write for class. I will post it when done.
