Rants,+Kaila+Introduction

My name is Kaila Rants. This is my second year at SOU. I have been working with children both in the classroom and in home as a nanny/sitter for about 8 years now. I would like to teach in an elementary school, but I am not sure at what level yet.

I am from Olympia, Washington. I have a twin sister who is attending Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. I also have a younger brother, who is a seniopr in high school. My mom is a flight attendant, so she occasionally passes through the Medford airport and comes to visit me. My dad is in the family business, a small commercial real estate company. I played soccer for 10 years back home, and coached a few kids' teams during my senior year of high school. I am very excited about getting started in the Education program here at SOU, and I can't wait to finally be a teacher someday!
