  18. CONCLUSION 

  19. Continuing Plan to Develop as a Professional Educator • I am very interested in receiving my GACE Certification in Middle Grades Social Sciences and Science and Gifted Certification. • I am unsure where I am headed; however, I am confident that where ever that may be, Reinhardt and the MAT professors and supervisors have adequately prepared me to exceed any challenge! • I would love to eventually start my non-profit organization for underprivileged communities, called Kick It Forward, that provides soccer training from former college and professional soccer players; as well as soccer gear including cleats, balls, cones, etc. It takes one small act of kindness to start a movement!
