Hello! My name is Chasty I am a 31 year old mother of four. I am born and raised in Virginia all my life. I have two daughters ages 10 and 8. I have two sons that are ages 13 months old and age 5. My 5 year old has a speech delay he has been in preschool since he was 2 years old. He is improving each and every day with his speech. He has actually progressed so much since starting school, I am so glad I did what I had to do in order to get him into school and get him the help he needed. My daughters are in 3rd and 5th grade school now a days is a lot harder than it was when I attended school. I am studying at Ashford University for an Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education (but I am contemplating on changing it to a Bachelor’s Degree) as I want to become a Special Education Preschool Teacher when I complete my degree. I only have 2 classes after this one and I graduated December this year!!! I am so excited!! I have the will and the want to succeed no matter what obstacles get in my way. I am doing this to better myself as well as better my children’s lives. Interesting fact about myself is I've always wanted to become a Preschool Teacher, but I recently decided I wanted to be a Special Education Preschool teacher because after seeing the difference that my son had after being in special education I want to be a huge asset to a child’s life as his teacher was in his life. I love children and have always wanted to be an asset to the children’s learning and education. I do not have any experience in Curriculum planning because I do not have any experience with children outside of my own children and I have never homeschooled my children either. I will not let that stop me in this class though I will do whatever I can to learn everything possible about curriculum planning in hopes it will help me out in my future career plans. .
