Ten years ago I felt lead into the world of education, specifically business technology education. Due to a very bad experience in a middle school in Florida during my internship, eight years ago when I graduated from the University of South Florida and stated that I would NEVER go into education. I changed MY plans and went to work for a friend doing technical support for her small company. When she could no longer to keep me on full-time I went to work for Xerox for the next six years. After being laid off from work I slid down the slippery slope of depression, especially when I couldn't find a job. What I didn't want to hear, was that it was time for me to get back to what I was suppose to be doing and get back into teaching. That was truly the last thing that I WANTED to hear. Not surprisingly when I started to explore opportunities in education doors started to open. There have been some tough moments, but there have also been some amazing moments as I have gotten to work with students who just need encouragement and someone to care. Right now, even as a substitute, God has been so kind to show me that this is where HE wants me and HE has a work for me to do in the classroom. In May I start school to get my certification, I'm back on the plan.
