Episode Three; Inspirational Teachers

This episode is an interview with a sophomore special education student named Matthew Fazekas who is telling his experience of being in class and the troubles he's had going through high school. Matthew talks about how nervous he was about making friends and doing well in class. The most inspirational part of the episode was how grateful he was towards his teachers. They inspired him to follow his dreams and now he has plans for college and wants to be a teacher. It makes me want to be THAT teacher that inspires a student to achieve their goals in the future and is there to watch them succeed and prosper.

Special Education Podcast Episode Two- Interview with a Student

This segment of the podcast is an interview with Josefina Bermudez who is an eleventh grade special ed student. The part of this interview that really hit home with me was when he asked her what her favorite part of going to school was. Josefina said that her favorite part was getting to learn new things. I love that that aspect was her favorite part because so many children take the education that they are privileged to receive, but Josefina was excited to go to school and learn.
