About BJesus

Hello Everyone!

My name is Brittney-Ann De Jesus, and this is my fifth year being at Rhode Island College. Some people might ask why have you been in school for so long! Well it's because I switched my major from Elementary Education to Youth Development last Spring. Changing my major was the best thing I ever did. I have always wanted to work with children in schools but I also wanted to work with children in other types of environments. Throughout my high school years, I worked with the special needs children in my high school. I helped the teachers working one on one with the students and also helped the students with their inclusion classrooms. I wanted these children to feel comfortable and like every other high school student in the building.

 One of my major goals for my career is to work at Hasbro Children's Hospital or the Make A Wish Foundation. My mission in life is to make a difference and bring happiness to children as they grow up to be independent and successful adults in our community. I think my wanting to work with these organizations comes from my love of wrestling. I am a huge John Cena fan and he is one of the top celebrities for granting wishes for the Make A Wish Foundation meeting 400 and more wishes. I love to see these children smile and be happy that they got to meet their ideals. Seeing how happy these children get, made me realize I want to make a difference for them as well.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and I hope to get a lot out of this class to further my career in this field.
