Hello my name is Kaleena Springsteen, I live in Scottsboro Alabama. I am married with two kids. I have an Associate’s Degree as a Medical Assistant. I wanted a career change so I decided to go back to school. I have been a student at Ashford since January 2016. I am working towards my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education. I want to use my degree to become a pre-k teacher then maybe move up to kindergarten . I have always wanted to be a teacher and care for children. I took three years of Early Childhood Development in high school. Four days a week, we had hands on experience working with pre-school age children getting them ready for kindergarten. After high school I worked at a daycare with all age groups. I am currently working at a nursing home as a CNA. I love my job and I love my residents, but it's emotionally stressful. When I’m not working or doing school work, I’m spending my time with my kids or reading.
