SUMMARY
I am an asset to my current school district and community. I have experience and many useful skills now. I have finished the coursework for my K-8 multiple subject regular education credential and my ECSE and moderate/severe SE teaching credentials and now earning my MA in special education.
I realize how hard the tasks are that face me: I have repeatedly demonstrated I am up to the challenge. I know how difficult teaching can be: I have proven myself and improved with each opportunity.
MOTTO
One hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But the world may be a different (and better!) place because I was important in the life of a child.
Workplace
After Burroughs I worked at PressMark Printing in Burbank and went to LAVC. I moved up to Pinon Hills Nov. 1979, started going to Victor Valley College, and played music for a living, mainly electric guitar and vocals in Rock'n'Roll, Country, Blues, and Oldies bands. I had several day jobs: Apple Valley Typewriter, 2 welding gas cylinder and supply delivery truck driver jobs, gasoline and diesel truck driver, propane truck driver, and school bus driver. I am now (8/10/06) in my 7th year as a school teacher. I did 4th grade; 1st, now I teach Special Ed.
