I have been working with children with special needs since my cousin was born with Down Syndrome. Since then I have helped coach his basketball and baseball teams in addition to working in his classroom. As a senior in high school I worked in a local Middle School's Special Education classroom. I am passionate about working with children with special needs because I understand how special they are. I have always had the most fulfilling experiences while doing this. Even the children who are difficult at first to relate to end up bringing joy to my life. I truly enjoy spending time around special needs children and have found that they have such larges hearts that it is impossible to not be happy around them.
