Abigail Funderburg

I am a twenty-two year old, single parent who is driven to better my own life, and ensure a better life for my child through education. I am attending Mississippi State University as a full time elementary education major. I have been working as a substitute teacher for the past year, and I am a full time mom. I have a very supportive family and network of loved ones who provide me with encouragement in my education, but it has been a financial struggle for the past two years. I am very excited to be a teacher, but my overall goal is to be a speech pathologist and work individually with children who need one on one guidance. I hope and plan to be a positive influence to all my future students.
