    2.In a way I am, but then again no. I plan to be a stay at home mom, so I will be teaching and taking care of my kids, but other than that I don't believe I will persue a fulltime career in any teaching&training fields.
    3.Yes I do! There are a boat load of them out there!
    4.My life has been affected by teachers I'm with for most of the year and by working with my boss at the daycare.
