I am a education specialist and this is my first year is a mild mod k-3 class. I feel conflicted because often times I question if I made the right choice on my career. I love special
Education but sometimes you feel left out as a teacher. Depending on your school site they tend to leave you out but I continue to tell myself fitting is isn’t my goal. My goal is to reach these babies who need it most.

When she said there's a "cap " on the salary scale, that broke my heart!!! So much work goes into teaching these kids!

I’d like to do mild to moderate special education resource as a career. As a minority former student who had an IEP I want to help students who also have learning disabilities. Thank you for this and sharing. I’m getting emotional typing this because I feel doing this would be my calling.

So pretty, seems like a good person as well.
