When I was a senior in high school I was in a program called Senior Leaders. Senior Leaders was a program during physical education where students would be an aid to a teacher for the full year. The students got to choose what type of PE class they would like to aid. I chose to aid a special education PE class. However, there were not any special education students in PE class during that time so the special education PE director decided instead he would use my help in the classrooms. I worked with a variety of students and saw them every day of the week. I also had the opportunity to go on a camping trip with these students to Wisconsin for the weekend. I also accompanied them to Six Flags. Every day with these students was the best part of my day but it also was a learning experience. Those students were my inspiration to become a Special Education major.
I plan on graduating from Illinois State University in the year of 2013. I would like to get my masters after I graduate. I'm hoping to work with high school children with Autism.
