I am a single mother of a handsome and mischievous 3year old boy named Oan (pronounced like "Owen").  :) Along with work and school, I have to squeeze in taking my son to speech therapy as he is speech delayed.

I have 2 older siblings and one way smaller sister. My older brother is a Technical Sargent in the United States Air Force. My younger sister is 9 years old and in 4th grade.

My overall goal is to become a kindergarten or first grade teacher. I would like to use what I have learned from my classes and my experience working with students to build a positive and encouraging learning environment where all students are given the opportunity to shine.
