My dreams: School and becoming a special education teacher

So as you all may know, I really hope to one day become a special education teacher, as of now I only have my Associates Degree from the wonderful Landmark College. I am hoping to at some point attend Salem State so I can study to become a special education, I have had the idea of becoming a special education teacher in my head since I graduated LMC in December of 2008. I went through a lot during my education. As some of you may or may not know I was bullied pretty badly throughout most of my education, I had support from some wonderful people. I want to make a difference in someone's life as well. I am really chomping at the bit to go back to school. I may be rushing into things. But it has been almost two years since I left my previous school Colby Sawyer. I really would like to get my degree, and have my dream of becoming a special education teacher come true.

I have had some wonderful teachers in my life. I would like to give a special shoutout to one of them. My High School special education teacher. Mrs Waybright you made such an impact on my life. I would have never passed MCAS without your help. You fought hard for me and never gave up on me.I feel so lucky to have had you as a teacher. If you are reading this thank you so much. Thanks for fighting for me, it's because of you that I want to fight for someone in my position. So again from the bottom of my heart thank you! :)

I would also like to thank all of my LMC faculty that I was lucky enough to work with. You all changed my life in various ways, I had an amazing coach who helped organize my crazy life while I attended LMC. She was there through the good times and the hard times. She helped me figure out how to work things out in my head and I was able to organize my work better because of her help. She supported me throughout my homesickness while I was at LMC. So to my coach thank you for all of your wonderful support.

I had some wonderful professor's there as well, they know who they are, they all supported me, through all my hard times. I am the luckiest kid in the world to have attended LMC! LMC is like a second home to me, I have struggled lately with the idea of going there for a visit it's been two years since my last one. I have mentioned this before that I am afraid to go back because I think that people will be afraid to see me because of my illness. But the more I think about it and the more I talk to my family and friends about it I realize that there are people at LMC who genuinely care about me and want to see me.

I aspire to help someone else just as my teachers have helped me, I went through so much in my education, yes I was bullied but they're were a lot of positive aspects of my education. I want to be able to say at some point a long time down the road that I did the same thing for someone else. If my dreams of going back to school and becoming a teacher come true I would be one happy girl. I know my blog entry isn't that great, but I just wanted to put my dreams out there for you all to see. I hope you guys like what I wrote and that you leave your comments. I know I can count on you all to do that. The comments are so helpful for me and always uplift me. So thanks again everybody :)
