Hi,
My name is Patricia Perez and I received my AA in Pre Bachelors of Arts in 2002 from Miami Dade College. I took a few years off after that to start working at what I would call dead end jobs. I got married in 2005 to a wonderful man and have two wonderful kids. I am currently trying to finish up my lower level courses in order to gain acceptance into the Bachelors Program for ESE Teaching K-12. I have always wanted to be a teacher ever since I was little. What really set my decision in stone was two things really. The first was a great teacher I had at Miami Dade College; his name was Professor Eliason. I am unsure if he still teaches and the second was the reality of having two kids and wondering how am I going to support these children with a dead end job. After loosing my job early in 2007, I decided it was time to go back to school. I went to FIU to get My Legal Secretary Degree which I obtained in hopes that I would be able to get a good paying job in the Legal Field while I was going to school. No luck!!! I have now been unemployed for longer than I ever have, and it made me realize how important education really is.

Sometimes it takes a long time for the lightbulb to come on. I too ddid not finish my education in a timely manner. I went back to school as single parent with three small children. So I know how hard it is. I applaud your efforts and diligence to continue your education and achieve your goal of teaching. Your children will benefit greatly. You will be a super teacher. Martha Stewart is talking about her blogs and has her audience and staff doing blogs. What a blast. I am still astounded about this blogging thing.
Hope you achieve your goals. Beautiful family!
