About
I am a graduate from Bergen Community College in New Jersey graduating with Associate in Science Degree in December 2013, presently I am studying Family & Child Studies with concentration in school settings major in Montclair State University. The field I am partaking in is to become a special education teacher. My passion ever since I was in my grammar school was to become a teacher and help other students better understand the material just as my teachers did for me. I love helping others with a passion because I love being a helping hand to my close ones and/or my community. Special Education to me is highly recognized as I tutored elementary school students with disabilities and I am fond for a helping hand for each and everyone of them. The students and I make a huge difference and impact while I tutor them because on both ends we are as a whole helping each other out and I have a desire to helping students. I am highly recognized in being a leader with mindset goals to accomplish with others helping me along the way. Being so, I am now a member of the Sigma Alpha Pi-National Society of Leadership and Success in my university. Which captivates leadership opportunities/goals/aspirations and longevity to continue success throughout my studies.
