She just started kindergarden, my goal is for both of us to start 3rd grade together.** __ **What I am Passionate About** __ **I am very passoniate about helping people and making people feel special. I love the feeling of knowing that somehow someway I have changed how someone is feeling and I love knowing that I made a difference in someone's life. One of my faults is that I care too much which is a great quality to have but also can be a horrible quality to have. I tend to put how others feel before me and rather than helping myself or doing whats best for myself I i things for others all the time. I just really like making people happy. I am an all around happy person so I want other people to fell the same way. Like i said I also want to feel like I somehow made a difference. Even if it's in a small way I want to feel that some person one day will remember me because i have impacted them in a good way. I think because of these things thats why I went into education.**
 * __ Philosphy of Education __**
 * My philosphy of education will come ass soon as I finish my paper for Edu. Psych. I would use my College of Edu. essay but of course a week before finals last semester my computer completely broke and I have none of my work that I have done for the past four years. **
 * __Story that Has Impacted Me__ **
 * A story that really stands out to m is when I was a junior in high school my math teacher told me that in order for you to learn something you have to be able to teach it to someone else. This impacted me a lot because I have always wanted to be a teacher and by her saying this I really understood what I was going to have to do one day in order to teach children. Ironically my math tech told me this and I am horrible at math so sadly I did not mater whatever mathmatical equation I was supposed to and did not go on to teach it. But the point of the story is I really opened my eyes and thought "wow that is so true, I cant teach anyone something I dont fully know or belive." This I think will help me in life and in my teaching career. **
