Educational Consult. / AeriesSoft. Trainer
I advise school districts, train clients in Aeries Software
I have three jobs, so my day is very busy! I advise schools, mentor administrators (and attend teaching conferences!), train individuals in Aeries Software, while also checking up on my remodeling crew.
Here's the first step for everyone
I recommend keeping an open mind and taking opportunities as they come, because you never know where it will take you. Don't be afraid of diverting from your original path or plan, those opportunities may lead you to something better.
"Neither of my parents were high school graduates, and I wasn't confident I was capable of completing a college degree. Then a near-fatal illness had me hospitalized, resulting in loss of an entire semester of my freshman year of college."
My dad for his work ethic [and] my mom for her compassion. I also had a role model in my girlfriend's father, who would become my father-in-law, [and in] Mr. Sill, my senior English High School teacher and Mrs. Williams, my English professor at PCC.
As an educator I always focused on my students; seeing them grow [and] mature is a wonderful experience. I stay current in my field, continuing membership in several professional organizations; I am learning the value of mentoring future educators.
Keep an open mind, don't decide too early about your pathway in life and college. I grew into the profession of teaching and then educational administration; looking back I can see the path clearly, but not always as I made each successive decision.
