Special thanks: I want to thank my family and friends for being such an amazing support system throughout my educational career. Thank you to my professors at Eastern º£½ÇÉçÇø Community College for giving me guidance and inspiration during my first two years in education. I also want to thank Doreen Page for being a phenomenal instructor throughout my 100-hour experience and student teaching. She has been a wealth of knowledge for me and an incredible support during my time here. A special thanks to Mrs. Allen, my mentor teacher, who couldn’t have given me a better student teaching experience. She solidified my love for education and creating special moments for young children. I will forever be grateful for her guidance!

Favorite Uº£½ÇÉçÇø memory: My favorite Uº£½ÇÉçÇø memory was taking a field trip to Swans Island and riding on a ferry for the first time. Definitely a unique and nauseating experience!
