My little sister was diagnosed with Asperger's when she was two and I was heavily involved in taking care of her and working with her up until she was about 6. Ever since then, I have known that I want to pursue a career in taking care of those with special needs. I am currently going to college and trying to decide what degree I would like to pursue. I want to start working part time as a personal assistant to those with special needs so that I can spend time fine tuning where my talents are working with them and then deciding what I want to study so that I can start helping and taking care of lots of special needs kids and teens. I have been a peer tutor at my high school and I go to church with an autistic girl. I love them so much! I am happiest when I am playing and taking care of them. Nothing is more rewarding to me than to see progress with their behavior and to make them feel happy, safe and comfortable.
