Everyone remembers that one teacher that they will never forget, Hi mane is Venessa Olushawnu Ojo. I am born to two Nigerian, African parents, I am second to five girls and my favorite color is blue. My oldest sisters name is Ophelia and she will be turning 27 this year, I will be 25, the third Olevia is 23, fourth Abimbola is 21, and the baby Joyce is going to be 16.
My favorite hobbies include, writing poetry, playing basket ball, and watching Nigerian movies. I am from the graduating class2004 of Miami Carol City High school. I started Miami Dade College in 2005 and I will be gradating in 2010 as a teacher for exceptional children.
Ever since I was eleven I realized that I wanted to help students. In the fifth grade I would get the student of the month award just so that I could get out of class to help the kindergartners teacher. In my elementary school the teacher would give the students of the month the option of getting either a prize or the option of missing class for a week to help the kindergartners. I would always pick to help with the kindergartners because it was fun and second because I loved showing, teaching, explaining, and reaching out to a younger generation. By helping the kindergartners it helped me decide on the career of being a teacher.
As I got older I sought out independence. Through the journey of independence I was able to get a job. My first job was at Pro Player stadium when I was in the 12 grade. I worked there for 2-3 years. While working at the stadium I got a second job the YMCA as a site director. I have worked in this capacity for 9 months then got promoted to site director positing. After 2 years I left the stadiums because I started college. After 3 year of YMCA I left because I had a sick family member that had kids that I had to help take care of. I currently work at the JCC which is as almost the same thing as the YMCA but I drive a bus that picks up different kids at different schools.
Currently I am about to gradate with an AA degree in teaching. I plan to work in Broward as a substitute teacher. I will continue going to Miami Dade College for my BA degree and then further my educational path by attending the University of South Florida for my Masters.
