WELL I'M A TEACHER ASSISTANT FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. I'VE BEEN IN THIS FIELD FOR 7 YEARS. I REALLY THOUGHT I DIDN'T HAVE THE PATIENCE AT FIRST BUT COME TO FIND OUT I HAVE ALL THE PATIENCE IN THE WORLD. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MANY DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES THAT EACH CHILD BRING. I WORK WITH ALL DISABILITIES AS WELL AS REGULAR ABILITIES. I WORK AT GWENDOLYN BROOKS MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IT'S BEEN THE JOY OF MY LIFE. JUST KNOWING I PLAY A MAJOR PART IN THEIR LIFE BRINGS ME JOY. HELPING A CHILD BE SUCCESSFUL IS ONE OF THE VERY THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY JOB. I HAVE 3 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN OF MY OWN.
