Ever since I was a young girl, I always wanted to take care of people. I got the best opportunity when I decided to be a teacher's aide at a high school. It was the most rewarding job I have ever had. I was able to work with handicapped children from ages 12-17. Not only was I able to teach them, but they taught me things I never learned anywhere else. It was because of them I went on to get my Bachelors degree in Special Education. I hope I can continue in this line of work or just be able to help in anyway that I can.
