Bio

Hello my name is Jurna Pierre and I am an 18 year old Haitian-American. I was born and raised in Miami, Florida under the supervision of both my parents. As a child I went to a private Christian academy school where I was taught to work independently, in doing so I graduated high school at the age of 15. I am currently a sophomore at Miami Dade college , working to earn my A.A in education (teacghing-early childhood).
I would also like to minor in business administration because I have a dream of someday opening up my own daycare center (family owned). What motivated me to major in education was the community service hours I did while I was in high school. The Christian academy shool I attended (Ebenezer Christian Academy) was a very small school so there was only about three classes and everyone knew each other one way or another. I used to volunteer my time in the pre-K through kindergarten class. In doing so I fell in love with the children. They were so energetic and loving. Yes, there were times where they drove me crazy, but hey, kids will be kids. After I graduated high school I began to volunteer my time at my church’s Sunday school. There I worked/supervised the toddlers and infants. Long story short, after I enrolled into Miami Dade college I found a job working as a tutor at an elementary school, which is where I currently work. There, I assist the teachers in there class activities and I tutor about 5 groups of 6 children Monday-Thursday from. I love my job and everything about it! I'm very happy about my major and wouldn't want to change it to do anything else.
