9. Educational Background I went to private schools when I was a child. I was in band from 6 th grade on. I learned so many things through the music program. I learned consistency, hard work and dedication, practice and achieving goals. I learned how to have lasting friendships. I currently teach 3 year old Nursery School and I love every minute of it. I'm hoping one day to open my own daycare, in-home or business. I love working with children and I feel that it is very important for children to have structure and repetition to build their fundamentals. I feel that my Master's Degree will help myself with working with children. You can never know enough about children because you are learning everyday just like they are.
