Working in/In Education?

So in the introduction post, I noticed a lot of people either working in education, or gaining an education at college. How many of us are there?? :D

I'm a TA who works with a class of high school students who all have behaviour problems, and there's also a fair amount of learning difficulties. It's interesting work, that's for sure.

I've been hanging out here/on the internet a lot lately because I go back on Monday after seven weeks off. It's my last few days of 'omg I can do whatever I want whenever I want on the internet' panic before going back to having to surf around work. My life is so hard ;)

I'm a starting Freshman in a Private, local college here in New York. I'm majoring in Secondary Education (subject: English) with a dual certification in Special Education.

Of course, it will take a good number of years before I'm working as a teacher but I'm SO ready for it! I've worked in a Special Summer school for 6 years volenteering and that's helped me a lot with gaining experience.

I will start college in a few weeks. I am trying to get my B.A. in business. Doesn't that sound totally exciting and thrilling? ^^

Aaahhh, so cool! Religions fascinate me. Basically, anything that has to do with people fascinates me.

And I am also taking Art History! Starting my freshman year on...Tuesday! O______O I'll be doubling in English. :D

I'll tell you that I was in Web Design. Completed a year. Went for Early Childhood Education for about a semester

I think if I were to go back, I'd just get some sort of secretarial certificate, but hopefully go back for Web Design.

The twin graduated with a certificate in Massage Therapy. She's awesome. :wub

Hoorah for religions and languages!

I'm a Junior at a small, preppy state school (seems like an oxymoron, right?) dawn sowth, double majoring in English and Religious Studies and currently looking for grad schools to apply to so I can get my Masters in Education.
