      "My colleagues have always said that I'm very compassionate and patient, and that I make a very good teacher. I think that teachers in special education need to be especially patient with their students, and it's easy for me to be this way because I care a lot about children, especially those with intellectual disabilities."

      "I am great at building relationships with my students. I am very interested in getting to know my student's likes and dislikes and what motivates them. I feel that as a teacher, this is a must if you want students to feel comfortable in your class. Another strength is I am an advocate for my students. I stand up for them and defend them if needed, which is especially important as a special education teacher."
