I started being assigned for the ESE students at Windermere High School. I was initially a bit overwhelmed with the class of students each with unique needs. But after a week or so and they started getting excited to see me waiting at the bus stop for them it was just a huge turning point. While we had issues that occurred I learned a lo of these students. It truly was a rewarding experience. I only left the job because I moved to Oviedo and it was just too far of a commute.
