�Ӱ�ר���Not only has my experience in the psychology department helped me to understand people with intellectual disabilities, but it has also taught me that my educational background in psychology can be applied anywhere, especially in the realm of teaching.�Ӱ�ר���

�Ӱ�ר���They always say to do what you liked to do as a child, and I spent lots of time teaching stuffed animals in my bedroom.�Ӱ�ר���

�Ӱ�ר���I am in a position to be able to expose our students to our unique French dialect and culture. One of the reasons that parents choose French immersion for their kids is due to their desire for their children to learn their heritage language, Louisiana French.�Ӱ�ר���
