Special needs is one the reason, I gave my insight in teaching that why I wanted to become the best special education teacher with special needs as my career goes on because now-days disability is very much needed in this day and time.

    Future Female Educators Scholarship
    In education , I had a passion for special needs children since I was a little girl. Also , I can relate to the education because I had those struggles too as a special need with a learning disability. So that is why I wanted to become a teacher to help them and to reach their goal in life. So the children will be a star and make good grades. Education is a role for someone that loves to teach children from different perspective in life and development a environment around a public school. I hope to utilize my education to get my bachelors degree in Elementary education to move in a higher level of teaching in the grade level I really enjoy. I have to make time to be available for children with their homework , testing exams and etc. My hope for my future is to someday work overseas and become the best special needs teacher. It is really hard sometimes to overcomer your obstacles in the education field. When I get their to that purpose in my life to be successful I will know if I had reach that level with my positive attitude. I believe the purpose of education is to make a difference in the lives of children, because each children has a need and a story to write. So , they can learn from different environments in a classroom , appropriate ages development levels skills set, and see how they act around other children and grade level.

    I stay true to myself by reading positive quotes , verses and scripture that means something to me . So, I can believe that I can do great things when I put my mind to it and pray about the situation. Otherwise I make a decision that I may regret in my daily life. Having positive vibes is always a good way to see through things when I don’t have enough faith that I can do the impossible. Daily life is a purpose to live right now and see the different perspectives in myself to stay true, to believe and anything is impossible when I put positive words in my mind is clear to hear.
