A picture of me

My name is Amanda. I am 25 yrs old. I graduated from East Aurora High School in May 2008. I decided to attend Waubonsee Community college right after high school to major in Early Childhood Education to inspire children for our future, also for someone who inspired me to be a teacher is my grandma and two aunts, who were elementary school teachers in Chicago public schools. I attended WCC for four years and graduated with an Associate’s degree in Aug 2012. I received a teaching job at Rachel’s learning center in March 2012 as a teacher aid and two years later as a Teacher in a preschool classroom until Aug 2014. My plan is to further my career here at National-Louis University in Chicago,I  to receive my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education in Summer 2018. I am on my second term here at NLU, I need one more class left before i get into the National college of Education for Fall 2016-17. I have career goals that I want to accomplish and they are is that I want to receive my master’s degree in early childhood education by the age of 30. I want to be a full time student in NLU and focus on my classes to get good grades to be able to graduate with 4.0 GPA and be on the dean’s list. I will have more opportunity to apply for scholarships when I further my education. I will feel proud of myself that I accomplish something I really wanted to do in my life in school. My second goal is to receive my bachelors and master’s degree at National Louis University in Chicago,IL. NLU is known for early childhood education and used to be only ECE classes for all teachers, That is way I chose this University. I also love the downtown area since high school I always wanted to attend school and work in downtown Chicago,IL. Now that I’m older I have the opportunity to do it because nothing is holding me back from doing what I want to do. My third goal is after my degrees in Early Childhood Education I want to go back and attend school at University of Chicago which was my second choice of University I wanted to attend I want to get my degrees in Special Education as well.
