Since I was eight years old, I remember wanting to be the change I wish to see in the world. When I was just four my father, grandpa, uncle, and grandma all passed away in two years. My mom didn't have much support when I grew up. I knew that I could look forward to school and I always had that. I knew that my passion was to teach when I was in high school. I want to be able to get my credentials in teaching for Elementary Education, be the light in children's lives, and be the change that I wish to see in the world.
