Bernice Stevenson
From my early childhood, one of my three career choices was to become a teacher. My educational process started with a 2- year degree from Hampton Jr. College in Ocala, Florida. Many years after that, I matriculated to Bethune -Cookman (College) now Bethune-Cookman University where I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Education. After many years of working in the private sector, my desire to teach, took over. During my tenure as a teacher for Seminole and Orange Counties, I became greatly involved in the academic and personal lives of the students. It was then, when I returned back to college and received my Master of Arts in English Education from Nova Southeastern University. Throughout this journey of teaching, my daily prayer is asking God to help me be able to help as many students as possible to become successful adults.
