My dad died when I think I was like 11 years old. He was a merchant marine. There was a shipwreck in 1983. The ship was caught in the storm and the ship sank. But A happy kid. I had great friends. School was a lot of fun. I went to the local college there and graduated. I waited tables. Just a nice, happy, non-stressful upbringing, really.

I was raised Catholic, but I wasn't sure if I believed it or not. I wasn't necessarily religious. I kind of had an open mind to everything. And I still do. I don't think I know an answer one way or another, but I just always just try to have an open mind about life and religion and all of that. In In 2007, I was in graduate school for a master's degree in education. In March, I got married.

And in July, my husband and I moved out of state. I wasn't finished with my schooling, but I thought, okay, let me get settled first before I continue with my education. And I thought I would apply for a job at a public school. I always had an interest to be a teacher and especially with special ed children. I think I have more patience and understanding than most with animals and children.

I have the type of personality where I kind of step back and allow them to be who they are. I'm certainly not a controlling person and I try to give, especially with my students, give them space to figure out who they are. And I've noticed When I was in school, and when I was growing up in particular, that a lot of times, I don't know, adults kind of disappointed me.

And I felt like I was going through the system like a factory, and nobody really took the time to ask me who I am or what really my interests are or what I'm really struggling with. So I feel like I have that, I have that in me and I try to impart that with the students that I've worked with. I allow them to make mistakes in their life.

and that making mistakes is OK and just kind of slowing down their life. So I know I'm not good at many things in my life, but I'm good at that. I'm good at patience and allowing people to be who they are at this moment. And I guess the fact that most people with special needs aren't trying to pretend to be something that they're not.
