First and foremost I am a MOM! A soccer mom to boot! My kids are my life!
I work with kids that have Behavioral and Emotional disorders. Every day is a new experience...all is calm one minute then the next there are chairs flying and desks being cleared. I have been called every name in the book and know how to restrain an out of control child. (Although I don't do that unless I absolutely have to!)
I graduated HCC last May after going part time for six years...I am now at Columbia College and will hopefully be done in three years with a major in Psychology...then on to my teaching certificate and Masters of Psych.
Like I said, I am a soccer mom (band also)...after being a mom and going to school and working I don't have much spare time. In the summers I am proud to work with the Winneshiek Children's Theater for two weeks. We take approx. 35 kids and teach them the ins and outs of the theater. At the end of the two weeks, they put on one hell of a performance (actually 2 as there are two different plays done each summer)
