I was a baby sitter for my brother and sister when I was young and then it turned into baby sitting for several children in the neighborhood. I had a job at the age of 16 working in a foster home with two mentally and physically challenged children and that was an incredible learning experience. During my four years at Frostburg State University where I earned a B.S. in English. I volunteered and tutored an 8-year-old in the AmeriCorps Read to Succeed Program. I volunteered to spend two hours a week for a semester at a Head Start Program for children at a local elementary school where I worked with children from 2 to 9 years old. In my last semester of college, I volunteered in the Shakespeare Festival Program where I taught students ranging from 14- to 15-year-olds how to comprehend and how to perform a scene from a Shakespeare play.
