Hello! My name is Anissa Sligar and I am from California. I have lived in a few places including Tennessee and Indiana, and it is amazing to see how different each place is. I am attending Walden University to obtain my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember, and I absolutely cannot wait until that day arrives. I am an early childhood educator while I am still in school, and I get to teach 2–3-year-olds currently and I love it. I have been teaching at preschools for about 4 years now and this experience has been like no other. I am able to learn what it is like to be a teacher and gain knowledge of so many things such as lesson planning, day-to-day routines, and so much more. I believe that each student is unique and powerful in their own way and helping them learn that is such a gift.
