Farewell Summer...

August signifies the ending of the summer and the beginning of a new journey for me. This month I will be starting the MAT program in Special Education at the University of Louisiana. I was previously enrolled in an Alternative Certification program but because of unforeseen circumstances I was forced to quit that program. I am happy to be able to continue my studies. This time of the year is also pretty nerve wracking because of the fact that I only have a Practitioner's teaching license. This means I have to wait for a last minute job opening. I have a lot of experience and good references so I'm confident about my chances of getting hired for a full time position. 14 more days until the school year starts and 21 more days until my graduate career begins. I'm so excited.

New Beginnings

Its a new day and a new year. I'm still the same person but as of December 11th, 2009, I am a college graduate. Through all the struggles, the trials, and tribulations, I have finally obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have passed my Praxis exam and next week I will be starting my journey towards certification in elementary education. I will begin studying for my GRE and my ultimate goal is to become a kindergarten teacher and attend graduate school to obtain my Masters degree in some form of Psychology that deals with children.
