Hi, my name is Martika. I'm applying for Early Childhood Education major online courses. I'm profoundly Deaf and know how to gesture to hearing kids because I have several cousins who are hearing. Also, I have two sons are 7 years old and 3 years old. I've been working with kids since I was eighteen and love it. Over the last few years, I've worked primarily with infants and toddlers, but I love kids of all ages. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but if not, I whip out my original skills :) In my free time, I love hiking, reading, and cooking.
