Hello! My name is Erica Jacquel and I am a Junior Elementary Education/Special Education major at Clarion University of Pennsylvania. I grew up in a suburb of Pittsburgh and graduated with 511 students (and believe it or not, I knew every single one of them!).

I have a twin sister named Erin who is my best friend, and a (not so little) brother, Eddie, who just turned 16. I have always been very close with my family. We have a little black pug named Rocky, a kitten named Cali, and 4 fish: Adam, Eve, Ugly and Weezy.

Up in Clarion, I am a member of the Student Council of Exceptional Children, P.R.O.U.D (People Reaching Out to Understand Disabilities) and currently hold a chair position with the Clarion County Special Olympics board. Special Education is my baby. I love it more than any other subject I have studied in school. With them, there never is a negative vibe. The adults I have worked with are nothing less than a riot. They are just like you or I only they are disabled in some way,shape or form. I truly believe that God put me here on this Earth to spread his word and use the talents He gave me to bring joy in the lives of these people. I can't wait to get out and teach them!

Physical science has its days with me. Some stuff I find interesting such as technology and some parts of chemisrty. Other parts of physical science such as cutting animals open and math equations bore me to tears. It's really a love/hate relationship we have. I am hoping to lose this by the time this semester ends.
