******************@*****.***
My utmost goal is to enhance a student’s life learning guidance. I am motivated to gear a student to become a productive citizen in our society. It does not matter their background, but to convenience them to do so. That each one of them has the capabilities to do so if they so desire, and I am willing to encourage them in any way I can; I have studied the Florida Statutes as it pertains to child protection, the principles, and the dynamics of child development, child abuse, neglect, domestic violence, and the effects of dissolution of marriage on children. I possess the ability to communicate effectively with people from culturally and economically diverse backgrounds, and people involved in emotionally distressing situations.
