[/QUOTE]I am so sorry about all your pain you are having to endure while trying to go to college. I admire you for getting into education.

I was an elementary teacher for 25 years....and a reading specialist for the last 12. It is a great field to be in. I specialized in K-2 and loved it.

I wish I had an answer for you, but see you have been given some good links! Hope you stay around with us here at NT. I would love to get to know you better! [/QUOTE]

Thank you so much for your reply Friend2U ! I think my drive in wanting to help children is what keeps me going in college despite all the pain I just did my first teaching demonstration last week and it went really good! I was very nervous but it turned out to be a lot of fun! I was so happy that the kids actually learned something from me and it was neat to see that even a short time with them can make an impact. I would love to work with kids from 1st grade probably up to third grade (at the highest) . Thank you for sharing your story with me!
