1. Introduction

My name is Barron Killens. I am 20 years old and I am from Florence, Ms. I graduated from Mississippi School of the Arts in 2014 where my discipline was vocal/music. This is my second year at USM, but I am technically a junior because of the amount of hours I have taken. I have recently changed my major from music education to special education and I plan on getting an endorsement in English. I have not decided what I want to specialize in yet, but at this point in my life I think I want to work with early childhood development, or with children who have severe disabilities. After I graduate I plan on teaching a few years in Mississippi then go back to school to get my masters.
