Personal Essay

My name is Tiffany. I was born in Sarasota, FL on October 29, 1992. Ever since I was born my mom worked with children and she spent little time at home. I would stay with my grandparents during the day until I was old enough to go to Children First. When I turned two I went to Children First and after school I would go to my mom’s work. I spent the majority of my day at school and my mom’s work but on the weekend I got to spend a lot of time with my mom. We watched movies, read books, and played games. Those were the times I loved the most along with my younger sisters being born. They became my best friends and helped spark my interest in childcare.

As years went by I grew to love children. I spent a lot of time watching movies and talking to my mom about how to care appropriately for children. Children’s laughs, smiles, and touch made my heart melt. I decided when I entered high school that I wanted to work with children. Ever since then I have spent time babysitting children. I have taken three years of Early Childhood Education. I have learned all about how to protect, care, and train children. I am excited to see where my life leads me to when I graduate high school this year. I hope to become a social worker who works with abused children and families. I believe that I am capable and can pursue my dreams if I stay focused.
