What Brings You To SNHU?

Since I was little I have always wanted to be a teacher.  On weekends my sister and I would pretend that we were in school where she was the student and I was the teacher.   I would use my graded school papers that I got from the week prior, and use them to teach her what I had learned.  As I got older my passion for teaching grew more intense.  I loved learning knew topics, and loved going to school in general.  Once I entered high school my love for teaching changed in a way that I never thought it would.  My Sophomore year of high school I met a boy that changed my future.  He was a Freshmen at the time and had down syndrome.  I spent a lot of time with him throughout school, and every second was filled with nothing but laughs and smiles.  He was by far the most inspirational person I had ever met in my life.  Nothing could bring his sprits down, and always put me in the absolute best mood.  He is the reason why I am gearing towards majoring in not only Elementary Education, but Special Education as well.  As Senior year came along I began looking for colleges in order to accomplish my goal.  It took no time at all to figure out that Southern New Hampshire University was the place for me.  Walking onto to this campus just felt right, and I knew I had to go here.  As soon as I got accepted this school I made the quick decision to commit to it.  I sit here in EDU 270 and write this blog in order to show that I am on my way to accomplishing my goal.  I sit in this class ready to try as hard as I possibly can to get good grades, and I am nothing but excited to see where the future will take me.
