When I go to work everyday I see unconditional love. The little looks and smiles that fill my heart and I feel so honored and blessed to be doing what I am doing. I knew from the first day I observed a preschool class at a private school for autism 16 years ago, that this was not just going to be a job for me but a life changing experience. I continue to learn and grow every day from my students. I thank God for bringing these amazing little faces that are full of love and hold so much possibility to learn. They are so much more aware than the average eye can see and when you find the child behind the eye gazing, it is an indescribable feeling! I only wish more people got the chance to break through the walls of a child.
