This was my first Blog. I lost my login for it, so I am reposting it.

I just received my BA in Liberal Studies, so I am going for alternative certification. I do have a minor in Early Childhood Education. I have taken all portions of the General Knowledge FTCE and passed them. Now I am scheduled to take the FTCE PK-3 Subject Area examination on March 3rd. I think I will do fine and I'm looking forward to getting this part done and over with. Once I have passed this portion I will be able to get a temporary certification in early childhood education (PK-3) good for three years. In that time I have to work towards professional certification which has its own set of requirements. The picture is my beautiful family. My husband, daughter, son, and me. I am hoping to be able to start teaching at a local charter school next year, and hopefully my daughter will be attending Kindergarten there also. We shall see if I get my certification by then, my little girl makes it through their lottery system, and I get hired. Here's hoping! I also recently turned in an application for a local education advisory board position. I think this would be a good experience for me in education, and because I want a bit of political involvement. In the mean time I have a short trip to Daytona coming on March 1-3 just to relax right before my exam. Although, knowing myself, I won't be able to keep myself from studying during my short trip. That's OK though, I like learning and studying. It makes me feel a little more empowered.
