Born on the tropical island of St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands, which is located in the Caribbean this beautiful 5'4 island gem was born on January 24, 1988 to the most loving parents in the world. This island gem is no other than Shaniece Nerissa Jeffers. I grew up in St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands all my life until I moved to Orlando, FL in May of 2007, and then I relocated to Miami, FL in August of 2007 to pursue my college career as an Early Childhood Elementary Teacher. I’m currently doing so by attending Miami Dade College North Campus where I'm continuing my studies as an Early Childhood Educator. In the mean while, I’m currently a Sales Associate at XXI, where I'm a Team Leader until my dream of becoming a Teacher is complete. Becoming a Teacher wasn’t really my first pick after graduating from the Charlotte Aamalie High School in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Being a Pediatric Nurse was really my first pick, but after taking courses in science; I decided that the medical profession wasn’t for me. Kids have always played a major part in my life, despite not having any of my own. I enjoy working with children, I rejoice when watching them accomplish major steps throughout their lives. That’s is why I’m currently a Big Sister at Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Greater Miami, despite my busy schedule. Teachers have the power of changing a child’s life and I believe that I can make that difference that is why decided majoring in Early Childhood Education. Over the years I have develop an urge in trying to start m own Day Care Facility, I really don’t know where I came from. I think that the passion I have for children have driven me to come up with so many marvelous ideas for the future that I plan to bring for so many young individuals in our society today. Children mean the world to me; I feel that if I had the power and funding I would definitely give and spend them towards the young generation today. Children are the future aspiring individuals in society today and we must make sure they are well nourish for the future ahead. Remember we have to heal the world to make it a better place, not just for us but the children all over the world, they are our future.
