Holy Family University is more than just a school. Everyone is so nice and accepting; it's like being part of a family.
I chose Holy Family University because its Education program really prepares you to become a teacher and makes you feel comfortable going out in the field. Special Education appealed to me because I wanted to help kids with special needs.
Everyone deserves a great education and I want to give these children what they deserve. I was inspired to my career path by a movie about twin boys born with autism and their mom's journey as an advocate. My work at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children was another source of inspiration as I loved meeting and playing with all the kids.
