I joined Head Start as the special needs assistant. Within months when the teacher left, I was asked and accepted the position as the teacher. I had 4 special needs children in my class of 19. I made such progress within the class that the high school special needs teachers came to observe my class and ask for pointers. They had me go and observe their classes and again my advice was rendered. We are here for a purpose and my gift and love is working with children.
