My name is Souad Knight, I am a 47 years old and live in Hampton, Virginia. I have been with my husband for 23years and have two beautiful boys, Farriss (10) and Sammy (8). We have two dogs, an 8 year old rescue Pekingese named Petey and the newest member of the Family, Sheba.  A six month old German Sheppard. We also have a Guinea pig that I adore so much because he has a character and a cute personality.  I am originally from Morocco but  have lived in the USA for the last  24years.   I have been a stay home  mom with a part-time job as a substitute teacher. I will say that my moments of meditation is when I am in the kitchen cooking, or cleaning my house, or when I pick my sewing machine and sew something new to decorate my house I also enjoy gardening. The outdoors is another way for me to meditate and relax. I enjoy a good day just by cleaning my flower beds and rearranging my plants and flowers or picking my herbs, fruits and vegetables. I am an old fashion woman (maybe even an old soul) who likes nature and loves to be natural. Last year I decided to go back to school and further my education. My boys are growing up and they are becoming independent so I have decided to pursue a career to fill the gap that is to come when they are teenagers and gone to college. I have an Associate in Science but have been out of school for many years. I have chosen EDUCATION as my career path for that is where my passion lies.  I plan to teach ESL (English as a Second Language). I chose ESL because I am myself a foreigner and I have taken ESL.  I believe I will be able to relate directly with my future students for I will have traveled the same path in which they will just be starting.   I believe in paying it forward as I have always tried to do so. I am a mom, a wife, and there is no more noble a profession than that of an educator.

Pay it Forward!
