My
name is Melissa Gleason and I am entering my fifth year at Central
Washington University with a double major in Elementary and Special
Education. I am the youngest out of three siblings consisting of an
older brother and a twin brother. Born and raised in Tacoma,
Washington, I attended kindergarten through 12th grade in the Tacoma
School District. I come from a large family that has taught me to work
hard and to reach for my goals. My dream is to become a first grade
teacher or an elementary resource room teacher. I enjoy working
with students and providing them with the necessary tools to be
successful in their educational journey. During my free time I love
cooking, reading, spending time with friends and family, going to
movies, and scrap booking. I also enjoy playing baseball and tennis
with friends and family.
