I was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1974. As the eldest child and a Generation X societal member, I have survived many life adventures and struggles. One such struggle that I went through as a child was that of learning in school. I was undiagnosed as a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Displaced and told that I was learning disabled, I believed the words that were spoken over me. At forty, I finally obtained my lifelong desire of completing my college education and becoming a professional educator. I wanted to help students like me who found difficulties in learning. As a student, I hated school.. It was a place that reminded me of all my shortcomings and reiterated the echo of the words that I was limited in my intellect. In college, I came to understand that my intellect was far greater than the ingrained limitations placed on me by uneducated educators of my era. I set out to defy limitations on other children and to find ways in which they could effectively learn. I have since taught many children to read, write, and solve math equations using creative efforts.
