About the Author… My name is Alida Flores and I am a junior at Brigham Young University-Idaho majoring in Special Education with an emphasis in Severe Disabilities. I was born in Lima, Peru and grew up in Long Island, New York. I am 23 years old and married to wonderful husband, Steven. The reason why I decided to go into the education field was due to my missionary service in Charlotte, North Carolina. After I resumed my studies, I decided to take a Special Education introductory class on Assistive Technology and I feel in love with the program. I’ve come to grow fond of my Special Education teachers and mentors: Brother Christopherson and Pulsipher. Thanks to them, they make this major so much fun! Two years ago, I began volunteering at Developmental Workshop and I loved helping special needs adults work on their social skills. I am striving to be the kind of teacher that sets students for success and breaks boundaries for special needs students. A lot of people think it takes a “special” or “different” person to take the role of being a Special Education Teacher. I firmly believe anyone can fulfill that role if they set their mind to do it. Never in my life I thought about being a teacher, but luckily I was able to recognize my calling before I graduated. It is a lot of preparation and hard work but in the end, it’s very rewarding. When I came to this country I was a ELL student, and it took a lot of work to learn English. Eventually I became proficient, but I am grateful for my challenges because they taught me that I can achieve my goals. I have the same perspective for my students. Each and one of them are special and can accomplish anything. I hope to contribute in their lives, just like my professors and teachers have done for me. My absolute goal after teaching is to become a Special Education Administrator. I would love to have a leadership experience to mentor and guide my fellow Special Education Teachers. I know it is a big responsibility, but I with much experience, one day I can make it. I hope you enjoy my articles. I focused my topics on special needs students. It is important to know what to do to differentiate and meet the needs of these kinds of students.
