Hello
my name is Kimberly Carr. I received my undergraduate degree in
Elementary/Early Childhood Education from Alabama A&M University. My
husband is in the military and we recently moved from Italy and are now
stationed at Ft. Bragg (Fayetteville),
North Carolina. Administration and Supervision is the degree that I am in the
process of completing. It is very difficult for me to get a teaching position
or have a career, because we move every 3-4 years Currently, I am a substitute
teacher with Cumberland County Schools here in Fayetteville. I am hoping to
gain a teaching position either during this school year or next school year. After
which, I will be able to utilize my M.Ed. I never question God about not being
able to get my career off the ground. My plans are not his plans. I’m reminded
that in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
My husband and I have two beautiful children,
Lillian, 13, is an upcoming 8th grader, and Lance, 11, and is an upcoming 6th
grader. While traveling is a big part of our lives, we also get in good
quality time as a family. I also enjoy reading, cooking, and volunteering at my
children's schools and within the community. I am chairperson of Delta Academy,
a youth initiative within my sorority, that mentors young girls.
I am looking forward to broadening my knowledge and successful strategies used
for diversity in the classroom and leadership positions. Also, I am excited
about collaborating with my classmates on developing a technology plan.
If
I were a movie star, I would be Angela Bassett. She’s smart, witty, determined,
and beautiful.
