//**Ms. Laskin's journey to becoming a teacher began in 2005. After graduating from [|Temple University] in 2001 with a degree in [|Broadcasting], Ms. Laskin wanted to take on the world of television, one breaking news story at a time. She soon realized that the news was not her forte and after a few years of odd jobs, her mother, a fellow teacher, convinced her to become a substitute teacher. She began her teaching career at [|Heston Elementary School] in West Philadelphia. It was there she fell in love with [|Head Start] and made the crucial decision to go back to school and obtain a degree in Education, primarily focusing on Early Childhood Development. She enrolled in [|Widener University]'s prestigious [|Masters in Education] program, where she graduated with a 4.0 grade point average. Today Ms. Laskin currently holds a certification in Early Childhood and is pursuing an additional certification in Elementary Education.**//
