Life seems short this far along in the journey and yet I've worked in many fields in my 28 years of living. In high school, I started as clerk making and selling ice cream, took night classes to become a certified nursing assistant-placing me as an employee in a nursing home, and later as a supervisor of respite care. Janitorial work and renovating homes to save up money so I could then be called on a full time mission for the L.D.S. Church and herein found a life altering love for learning and teaching. In the past few years I have taught preschool, special education, Montessori school, and privately tutored an array of subjects and areas. My main passions and drives are those associated with positive interactions with others. I believe we are our best source of learning as we focus on absorbing all we can from our current situations and circumstances only to move forward with increase wisdom and knowledge from where we've been to facilitate where we are going.
Instructional Design is a great opportunity to apply these principles in the work force as well as in a new way of analyzing and viewing the world to assist others in accomplishing much good! It requires a lot more organized thought and cognition is key to success in this field. It has brought me back to the conclusion my mother tried to instill while I was yet a small child, "Use your brain, Sarah, that's why it's been given to you!"
