There is also a test called RICA which is a writing test that must be completed before getting your credentials which I will have to take. This is the main test I will need to obtain my credentials and I know there are other requirements I will work on to obtain my credentials and become a special education teacher. I'm very excited about the path ahead of me, even though it seems like a lot. I will take it step by step and achieve my short term goals to finally achieve my long term goal. Being very optimistic and showing perseverance will help me achieve my goal that I have dreamed of for a long time.
