Why I love to teach
At first, it was about challenging myself, then it was about helping kids who needed the most help, and then to having a positive impact on kids, and now it's kinda all three. Being a Sped teacher has allowed me to challenge myself to be the best teacher I can so I can help our students who don't always get the help they need, and hopefully, by allowing my students to see my own shortcomings, they can realize and experience that we can make a difference in this world.
