Throughout high school, I ran and volunteered for a mentoring program that paired special needs children with general education students to form friendships. I mentored two high school students with Aspergers and also provided after school care and tutoring for two elementary aged children with Autism. The program provided extensive training on how to interact and teach children with disabilities. Caring for and teaching children with special needs has been very fulfilling and something I truly enjoy doing. I am currently studying to be an occupational therapist at VCU. I am eager to learn more to help better serve the needs of whomever I care for.
