"Being a Special Education Paraeducator and Professional Therapy Dog Handler at Mark Twain gives me the chance to make a difference in the lives of students in so many ways. I had so many incredible educators while I was in school who believed in me, and I try to bring a bit of them with me to school every day for 'my kids'. I absolutely believe that laughter and learning can go together... what can you expect from someone who has also been a professional clown for 41 years...and I try to bring a bit of fun to class. Being a Para is one of the toughest jobs I have ever done mentally, physically, and emotionally, but when a student makes a breakthrough...wow...THAT is what makes it all worth it." Ron Johnson
