Shakemia Lester always knew she wanted to work with children.
She just didn’t always know that meant becoming a teacher.
Growing up surrounded by nieces and nephews and with a mother who loved children, Lester initially imagined opening her own daycare center. She enrolled at Central Georgia Technical College with that goal in mind.
Then came an internship in a pre-K classroom. “I instantly knew, no, I want to teach,” Lester said.
