[nobe-l] Introduction

[Amanda Matheny]

That is pretty cool! I am doing elementary and Special Education to
open more doors, especially in the economy. I want to either teach
2nd/3rd grade or special ed, or perhaps a little of both. We will see.
I am sure my student teaching will help me make a solid decision too,
but definitely having more than one door open and ready for me to put
my foot in is desireable. Maybe I could teach 2nd/3rd grade special
education students? That would be the best of both worlds!
