Why did I choose to be special education teacher in this time of year, of life. Why would someone choose such a profession that you are ignored, depleted.. WHY?
I think my kids deserves all the things the rest of the world does. Just cause you’re nonverbal, just cause you’re non-ambulatory, just cause they think you can’t, YOU CAN.
My kids deserve field trips, outdoor experiences, to be with their peers, and to be out there and shown to the world that they are the same.
My kids are what I fight for. They have personalities that would surprise you. There are all special. And I know all of them see them as “special,” but it’s not like that.
They are beautiful. They are kind. They are rude. They are crazy. They are everything a child should be. But they CAN’T express it how you’re used to the norm.
I choose to be a special ed teacher. I choose.. because I believe in them. I believe they are more capable than you can ever imagine.
They can learn. They can grow. They can do anything if you teach them and let them grow.
Special Ed is a certain person. But if you have it, you have it.
