If you don't know my big sister Allison - then you are seriously missing
out on life! She is one of the most fun, inspiring, intelligent, and
beautiful people I have the pleasure of knowing in this life and I will
always be proud to call her my sister. Earlier this month Allison
graduated from the Teachers College at Columbia University in New York
City with a Master's Degree in Education. She now has two degrees from
two very well respected schools and did it all with a smile on her face
(but only when she was not giving me the stink eye for doing something
foolish...) She is the first one in our family to graduate from an Ivy
League school and we could not be more happy for her and her future. She
has already come a long way from her first degree from ELON University
in North Carolina. After that milestone in 2008 she moved to New York
and started working as a ParaPro at the Rebecca School in Manhattan,
which specializes in education for students with learning disabilities.
It was there that she discovered a passion for education through working
with an AWESOME young student named Nick. She soon realized that she
wanted to teach for a living and work with autistic children. She sought
out higher education right in her backyard at Columbia University and
is now a certified Master of Education! Go Allison! You Rock! We Love
You! And remember to Keep it REAL! (Also, check out this link and try not to smile - I dare you...)
