High School Experience

When I was in high school I took part in a class called "Early Childhood Occupations." For this class we ran our own preschool for half a semester and went out to other schools to assist in classrooms. For my classroom experience I went to a Special Education School in our district. There I assisted in a classroom of high school age students with varying disabilities. This was the first time I had worked with students with any disability besides Down Syndrome. My jobs varied from day to day. I supervised their chores, participated in gym, even just played educational games. I loved every minute I spent with those students, and I formed bonds with each of them. This is when I realized I needed to change my major to Special Education because I knew I'd be good at it.
