Hello all! My name is Caitlin Buckley. My major is Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing with a concentration in Middle Grades English and a minor in ASL. I have always enjoyed english and literature classes. Growing up, reading and writing were my escapes from my strict, religious family. I aspired to offer those freedoms to other students and encourage them the way my instructors encouraged me.
Another great interest of mine that led me to this path is helping people. I have worked in healthcare for almost five years now. My very first job was in a nursing home and my current job is in an adult daycare. Within the daycare setting, I am afforded to work with individuals of various ages who have many different support needs. I have learned much since I began this job, but more than anything I have discovered a passion for enabling those who might otherwise face limitations and barriers. It is my hope that teaching will give me the same opportunities to cultivate and enhance the skills of those with whom I work.
As you can see by the photo, I have a son, Jude, who is five months old. Sometimes juggling him, school, and work can be tough. However, I love challenges and adventures, so parenthood has added another grand adventure to the journey. I'm looking forward to learning with and from all of you!
Very best regards,
Caitlin Buckley
This picture is seriously adorable. Jude is a doll! I hope one day he gets the chance to read this post and know how hard you worked to receive an education, work, and take care of him! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! That really means a lot to me!
DeleteJuggling multiple tasks and responsibilities now will prepare you well for a career in teaching. Teachers are often called upon to multi-task and wear many hats while managing many responsibilities. You've had quite a bit of "on the job" training and experience to be able to draw from as you continue to learn and will have opportunities to apply it in a variety of ways.
