</p>
<p> Here’s why Viparey and Jennifer decided to become APE teachers, what they enjoy 
  most about working with the Cross Country Education team and schools, and what advice 
  they have for APEs embarking on their careers.
</p>

<h3>Why did you become a SpEd provider in your modality?	</h3>
<p><strong>Viparey:</strong> PE was my favorite subject growing up. I saw how hard it was for 
  students with diverse needs to participate, have fun, and socialize. It was 
  my goal to make sure each student had fun in PE like I did growing up. 
  I love that sports and fitness can bring people together.
</p>

<p><strong>Jennifer:</strong> I grew my passion in helping students with disabilities 
during my undergraduate degree at CSULB through Special Education courses.
</p> 

<h3> What do you like about Cross Country Education?</h3>
<p><strong>Viparey:</strong> What I like about Cross Country Education is that everyone is a 
  part of a team. I feel very supported by my leads, my colleagues, and everyone 
  behind the scenes.
</p>
<p><strong>Jennifer:</strong> I really like how Cross Country Education cares for 
its employees and being able to provide the best support services. 
(Coaching/Mentoring and Team Check-ins). 
</p>

<h3> What have you liked about your experience working at schools with Cross 
  Country Education?	</h3>

<p><strong>Viparey:</strong> Cross Country Education is a very professional and 
highly recognized organization. All the schools are welcoming and collaborative 
when they hear who the providers work for.
</p>
<p><strong>Jennifer:</strong> I enjoy seeing the different school spirits and 
atmosphere when visiting the schools, how welcomed they make me feel, and how 
much they care for their outside providers.
</p>

<h3> What kind of advice would you give to those starting in your field?</h3>
<p><strong>Viparey:</strong> Be kind, be patient, and have fun! It may be a lot 
of work, but it is worth it when you see your students succeed.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Jennifer:</strong> The advice I would give those starting in my field of APE 
would be to put yourself in the student's shoes. What would I like to do and 
experience when working with a teacher during physical education? Think of 
creative ways to make them learn and enjoy being in your class.
