My Goals

I know from my many post that you all can tell that I truly want to become an educator. I will be graduating from Prairie View A&M University on Dec. 12, 2015 with a bachelor's degree in education with a concentration of early childhood through sixth grade. Although I extremely excited about finally getting into the classroom that is not where I plan to stay for the entirety of my career. Once I graduate I plan on attending the University of Houston and getting a masters in education that will allow me to become a superintendent or a principal. The plan that I have for myself is to for ever have children in my life and with that being a principal would be perfect. It would allow me to still be inside of a school but not actually be in the classroom. I love children and I want to make an impact on their lives all of the time whether it be in the classroom or outside of the classroom. Another goal that I have for myself is to open a daycare before my children are born. There have many numerous articles about the things that are happening in the daycares around the world and they are ridiculous. The daycare I will open will be somewhat of like a head start program, because it will have a focus of educating the children as they attend and not just a regular babysitting service. This daycare will be one that a waiting list will have to be created for, because so many parents will be trying to get their children in. I have so many goals that I will accomplish before I die and educating children are at the root of everyone of them.

My Support System

The people who stand behind me in the shadows play a large role in getting me where I am today. Without them I honestly do not know where I would be or how I would have made it this far. My support system consist of my mom, dad, younger sister, and my boyfriend. My mom and dad got me through some of the most difficult times in my life especially when I was younger. I was the young girl who was picked on and bully from seventh grade all the way through my senior year of high school. At that point in my life I begun to get depressed and shut down emotionally. I did not want any social interaction with anyone from school let alone my parents or family. My parents helped me through those hard years by guiding me, giving me advice, and helping me seek God as my savior. Without them I may not even be here to write this today because there were a many times I contemplated suicide just to feel relieved of the stress and the bullying. My sister ha ha my younger sister she was there willing to kick anyone behind the entire time also even though she was three years younger than I was. So, not only have my mom, dad, and sister been there for me since my younger days they have also been there to help me almost complete this chapter in my life I call college. College has been not to say difficult, but it has been a huge transition that I had to make and not a easy one I may add. But I have done with my family support and the constant support of my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I have been together for six years now and the support that he has giving me over the years has been quick overwhelming. He is everything I could ask for and more. Through the good times and the bad he has stayed by my side no matter what. My support system has truly helped me become the adult that I am today and I would not trade them for the world! I love my family!

My Inspiration.

A lot of people when asked why they want to teach or why they decided to teach they give a story about a teacher that inspired them. Well my inspiration comes all from my mother. My mom and dad were high school sweethearts and when they graduated high school my dad went off to the navy and my mother stayed behind and waited on his return. While at home she worked and visited him as often as she could. Then when my dad arrived home they got married, and became one. Once my parents had been married for three years I was conceived and three years later my younger sister was born and from then on our family was complete. Now to discuss the reason why my mother is my inspiration. My mom did not go to college right after high school but she did go back after she had her children. My mom was working full time, going to college full time, being a wife full time, and being a mother full time all at the same time. When I was young and watching her do all of this I never realized the magnitude as to what all she had on her plate and why she was doing it. But now as a adult and while in high school I realized she is my super hero, because she tore her body down handling all her responsibilities and we still never wanted for anything during the process. When I tell people this many question what about my dad why isn't he my hero, but I have to remind him that he is my king he showed me exactly what a man should be like and how they should provide for the family and I always was told that is what he was suppose to do so I never looked at it as him extended himself more than he should. My dad just did what a father should do. My mom on the other hand did not have to work full time and go to school full time while taking care of us without day care and things of that nature. She is currently a special education teacher in my home school district. When I enter into her classroom the love and connection that she has with her students is truly inspiring. It takes special people to work with children with special needs and my mom is one of those special people. She has showed me how to take your life into your own hands and accomplish your dream no matter the obstacles that maybe in your way. She helped me see that I could be anything in the world even if that meant following in her footsteps. I am my mothers child!
