AUTOBIOGRAPHY

My name is April Aquino.

I am currently enrolled in
my final year of college to
earn my Bachelors degree
in Early Childhood
Education, with a minor in
Sociology. I have earned my
spot on the Deans list every
semester since being
enrolled at Ashford
University, as well as
earning my spot in the
honors society for adult
learners in continuing
higher education. I have also
had the honor to duly be
elected and inducted to
membership in Alpha
Lamba Chapter at Ashford
University, because of the
high expectations I set for myself. I have created a number of lesson plans for
children with special needs, such as sensory issues, autism and more. I am also
very organized and a team player, I am excited, and dedicated to educate our
youth.
I have five children, one with a seizure disorder who did not attend a Pre-
school/Head-start program, however, he was prepared for Kindergarten. I
taught all five of my children at home, and they all continue to excel to this
day. Through research and the love of teaching, I made sure I had activities to
strengthen their cognitive, physical, social/emotional, and language
developments. I am patient and very creative with inventing fun, and exciting
new ways to learn required concepts. I believe my experience with children
and my educational background and love of teaching will only make me a
better educator and role model for my future students.
