Kayla Huggins“I am planning on becoming a Special Education Teacher. My younger brother has ADHD, oppositional diffident disorder with aggression and anxiety. He is the reason I wanted to become a special education teacher. I saw my mom struggle with him and the school system everyday. There was no one there to help and support her. That made me want to become a teacher to help not just the kids but also the parents” |
