My name is Lindsey Williams.  My major is Special Education General Curriculum Early Childhood.  I had lived in Stone Mountain, Georgia all of my life until I came to Valdosta for college.  I have a large family which includes, my mother, stepfather, father, stepmother, sister, brother, four step-sisters, a brother-in-law, a sister-in-law, a step-brother-in-law, a nephew, a step-nephew, and one niece or nephew on the way.  I went to Parkview High School and graduated there in 2003.  I spend all of my free time at the Tau Kappa Epsilon house when I am not in class, at my job, or working on homework. 
        I want to be a teacher because I like to help people learn things that will be important to them for the rest of their lives.  I chose early childhood because I enjoy working with younger children and also because there is so much to be taught to that age group.  I think that an early childhood educator's job is very important because of their role in building the students' knowledge bases.  Young children need a lot of guidance when it comes to learning and I believe that I will do a great job helping them along the way.
 
    My inspiration for teaching is a woman named Eleanor.  She owns a special needs school in Gwinnett County.  I volunteered at her school one summer for a few weeks.  The students were all in preschool through third grade and had mild to severe disabilities.  Before I went to the school, I had little experience with children with special needs.  The first day I went, I had no idea what I was getting into, but at the end of the day I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life being a teacher for young children with special needs. 


I attend Vadosta State University.

This is the NAEYC website.  The National Association for the Education of Young Children is another professional organization for educators and parents.  Its focus is better educational for all children ages birth through eight.

I attend Rock of Ages Lutheran Church in Stone Mountain, GA.  I like this site because it lets me know what is going on in my church community while I am away from home.  Also, my stepfather is the pastor of my church.
