[00:00:00.737]I'm Katie. I am a senior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I am a secondary
[00:00:05.260]special education major in the College of Education and Human Sciences.
[00:00:11.127]I was born in California and then I moved to Iowa, and then I moved to Georgia, and
[00:00:16.617]then I moved to Hong Kong, and then I moved to Minnesota and then I moved to
[00:00:20.877]Nebraska.
[00:00:21.957][pins fallling]
[00:00:23.267]Everywhere I've lived has totally shaped me into the person that I am.
[00:00:27.657]Lincoln is nice because it feels small town, but it's not, really.
[00:00:31.617]You can get that city life, but at the same time, it's a close-knit community.
[00:00:37.927]My dogs keep me sane. They are kind of my best friends.
[00:00:42.087]I tell them everything and they just cuddle with me.
[00:00:45.558]They are seriously the best.
[00:00:49.147]The special education program is awesome. I mean, I love it.
[00:00:53.507]My professors are great. They don't just teach out of the book. They give me the
[00:00:59.807]tools and they say, "Go do it your way."
[00:01:03.797]Every kid with disabilities is different. There's no two that are the same.
[00:01:09.247]You have to be able to take what you have and do what you need to do and the
[00:01:13.337]university really prepares you for that.
[00:01:15.457][reading from book]
[00:01:20.977]Students who have special needs, they are excited about what they are learning.
[00:01:24.727]It's a totally different experience.
[00:01:26.577]They just see the world in a totally different way, and it helps me
[00:01:30.296]because sometimes you can be super negative and you can get down about silly things
[00:01:36.357]that don't matter at all.
[00:01:38.397]And there's these kids who are just happy.
[00:01:42.587]There was a small portion when I was in like third grade where I wanted to be a
[00:01:45.496]realtor. I don't know where that came from but I've always wanted to be a teacher
[00:01:51.898]and it just, it clicks with me.
