Hi my name is Renee and I am an early education
teacher. I am a native of Mississippi, but I have lived in Indiana for 13
years. The reason I decided to work with young children, my experience as a
Correctional Officer (Men’s Death row) at the Mississippi State Penitentiary. I
stated to observe the inmate’s age was getting younger and younger. I said then
that something needs to be done to keep our children out of the correctional
institutions. Since my departure from Mississippi, I have made it a priority to
be that positive role model.
What I find meaningful and rewarding to me is seeing
children that I taught previous years say Mrs. Renee I still remember you and I
like school. My aspirations for the future, is to be a better advocate outside
of the classroom for young children.
The photo I included is from my junior high school
class dance. The reason I included this photo is because it is the only one I
could find of me at a young age. I compare the knowledge I have now to then, I
knew nothing at all then.
