15. Quitting my job as a lawyer to
become a special education
teacher was the best decision
I’ve made – I have no regrets.
LISTEN TO THEIR STORIES
I’m honored to be someone
students confide in, and can
be real with about what they
don’t know and what they
can’t do.
Being the first in my family to
graduate from college, receive
a master’s, and work as a
teacher has been the most
rewarding experience.
This program prepared me to
create a positive and
challenging learning
environment for all my
students.
