2. My name is Angela Lawrence. I am married and a mother of four beautiful children two girls and twin boys. In my previous work experience I was a lead teacher in a local childcare center, then I later became a case manager working for the mentally disabled. I am currently a production technician for the company that I work for. I just recently graduated from Ashford University with my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Early childhood education. This is my first class of my Master’s Degree. I look forward to working with each of you.

3. Growing up I attended public school and this is the same school that my parents attended. The thi9ng that lead me to wanting me to become a teacher is my third grade teacher. She was a big influence to me and a very caring teacher. She gave me the knack to want to be a positive influence to others once I became an adult. She is the reason I chose to become a teahcer.

4. I see myself as a kindergarten teacher and later moving up to become a principal of a primary school. Then in the near future I would love to own and operate my own child care facility.

5. Earning my master’s degree will help me in the future by my learning more information about the educational process. I believe it will provide me with the knowledge of knowing how to handle certain areas such as dealing with a more diverse classroom and the parents.
