Module 1 Journal: Teaching Profession

The question is what brought me to education and that is a hard one to write about. There are several factors. I was raised with a mom who had a home daycare 24 hours a day and I sorrow up and down that I would never do daycare. Then I got married and pregnant. The marriage didn’t last, but the pregnancy did. My son was very sick when he was born, we spent the first year and a half more in a California children’s hospital than out. Then another six months with check ups every other week. Finally we were cleared for release with check ups every six months to one year. I decided to move back home to Colorado to raise my son around family.
After moving back home I realized that my dream of Architecture was over. There was no close school to attend to finish my degree and I did not want to be one of the moms’s that had other people raising her child while she worked. So I found a daycare and put him in it while I worked and was looking for something else to do where I could stay with him. It took all but three months and I was working in the daycare and being able to be with my son.
Then, I discovered that the children with Special Needs seemed to be my calling. I was working with infants and toddlers which I always thought was my true love. Although, when the children would come in that had special needs I found my self drawn to them and listening to what a lot of the parents where saying about the teachers I decided that those children needed someone that would listen to there needs and decided I was going to school to be able to teach them.
