My name is Jill Simmons. I am just starting my Master's at Olivet Nazarine University. When I was in college, I was very uncertain what I wanted to be. As a freshman, I was in medical school for radiography, in hopes of one day being a radiation therapist. Then, I changed my mind and it almost seemed to depend on the day what my major was. It wasn't until my third year of college when I finally figured out what to do. Through my part time job working with severely handicapped children, I realized I had a gift for working with children and those with disablities. This is my fifth year teaching special education. At times, it is a struggle but that can happen in any job. The struggle seems to change as soon as you see your kids. They make it all worth it.
